Not sure I see anything wrong with that picture other maybe the optics of it. Assuming that was a recent photo after he was cleared to resume baseball activities, he's either immune and poses no risk to the team. Or, he's not immune and covid is going to be around in a big way for a long time. Either way, I tend to agree. [expletive] Covid.

Since when has there been anything absolute in regards to immunity? CDC said as recent as August 14 that immunity isn't guaranteed.
And his comment of "[expletive] covid" isn't a general comment, it's the subtext about his brazen lack of wearing a mask, following protocol, etc. as obviously implied in context of the picture. But yeah...no problems here. Lessons for sure learned. etc.

The recently emerged SARS-CoV-2 virus is currently causing a global pandemic and cases continue to rise. The majority of infected individuals experience mildly symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but it is unknown whether this can induce persistent immune memory that might contribute to herd immunity. Thus, we performed a longitudinal assessment of individuals recovered from mildly symptomatic COVID-19 to determine if they develop and sustain immunological memory against the virus. We found that recovered individuals developed SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibody and neutralizing plasma, as well as virus-specific memory B and T cells that not only persisted, but in some cases increased numerically over three months following symptom onset. Furthermore, the SARS-CoV-2-specific memory lymphocytes exhibited characteristics associated with potent antiviral immunity: memory T cells secreted IFN-γ and expanded upon antigen re-encounter, while memory B cells expressed receptors capable of neutralizing virus when expressed as antibodies. These findings demonstrate that mild COVID-19 elicits memory lymphocytes that persist and display functional hallmarks associated with antiviral protective immunity.

Yet one day later...
In fact, the CDC went so far as to update its update, which now says explicitly, "We do not know if someone can be re-infected with COVID-19." The agency added that people who were previously infected may continue to have "low levels of virus in their body for up to 3 months," which could explain positive test results even if they recovered from the virus.

Everyone, including those recovering from COVID-19, should continue to follow the recommended non-pharmaceutical interventions, including social distancing, wearing a face mask in public, and washing their hands, the agency said.

So, because the CDC can't understand medical studies or is slow to interpret them at least, people have to socially distance from the people in their own house? It really seems like you're just looking for a reason to get mad instead of understand what's going on.
