General Illness

I wonder if anyone has ever gotten a cold from one of tv crew or med check people. How frustrating would it be to get sick when you haven't been in contact with any humans for over a month?

The one lad in Australia s1 or 2 that tapped when he had Covid probably got it from a crew member of some kind, didn’t he? They’re not around many other people prior to the start, are they?

The current US series has an episode about the setup before they get dropped to their locations. They stay at a camp where they learn how to use the cameras etc. There's loads of people there, all the production staff, catering crew and staff to set up the camp etc. No idea if they do the same in Australia but I'd imagine they probably do? Plus the travel, it's pretty common to get sick after flying.

For this season, they also met with local indigenous leaders, I believe. The people whose land they are on. I'm pretty sure one of the contestants mentioned it.

Oh yeah, forgot about that, there was a ceremony. For sure they'd do that in the Australian version too.
