Thanks OP for the news, community can appreciate helping in this way.
You know, after recent "studies" and "reports" from medical professionals, is hard, very hard, for thinking rational people to have any trust in anything they say or write anymore. Especially agencies that are headed by political appointees and or medical professionals who have reached top of profession and have vested interest in propaganda. And on top of this, a lot of the articles posted in this and the many other topics against this activity come filtered through the TV or other news outlets, which as well in the recent times have been exposed to have been not only making their own stories up, but allowing government employees to influence or outright tell them which stories to write or no write (even worse, writing the stories FOR them lol). I am skeptical by nature, but wow these people make believing any reporting impossible.
As natural scientist, I WANT to hear about this kind of information, I WANT to know, but when even a few percent of the reporting is horseshit, I have to discount the whole bunch. Especially in topic this important to health, and the consumption of such intel makes me alter activity during hobby which is a functional part of my daily life. Boy who cried wolf is no a friend of mine.
I am in hobby more than three decades in all but one continent and at least half the countries of the world, and haven't even gotten dead yet. I also jump out of planes and have gone to places where there was a war happening. I totally understand there are risks, and I think others do too.
This is problem with this kind of statistics though. The sample pool includes morons, rope victims, medical professionals accidentally exposed, stupid mongers who see sores and go in anyway, all kinds of populations and types that maybe don't have mental capacity or physical ability to operate in any way that makes any sense. Dudes who speed in 25mph zones and drive in bike lanes to "get there faster" and take swings at cops cry discrimination and their encounters are counted in statistics, but any sane person would say yea no shit they pulled you over and no shit you got arrested and no shit one of the cops tazed you. Ladies who live in motels with other drug addicts and open their legs for five bucks or heroin are included in the stats same as you or I are. I'm no invincible either, but the rates of infections include people who engage in behavior a thousand times more risky than we do. No that there is no chance for me or you to catch this or that this morning, but I have belief that if you sleep with dogs you wake up with fleas, and if you sleep with dogs every single day and night you are nearly guaranteed fleas.
