B10 Restart Announcement TONIGHT!

Hate to say it, but another liberal female who is clueless and deaf. Lost track of how many cardiologists who have come out and stated this is not an issue. Top Cardiologist at Mayo Clinic being one of them. Heard another Cardiologist state that they have had cases where the common cold has been a trigger. These people need to be shown the door.
He also said the group size was too small to say anything specific on 18-24 years with covid.
 
Myocardia is caused by viruses. Any virus, it's not new, it's not unique to COVID.

"Many viruses are commonly associated with myocarditis, including the viruses that cause the common cold (adenovirus); COVID-19; hepatitis B and C; parvovirus, which causes a mild rash, usually in children (fifth disease); and herpes simplex virus. "
Severity is what makes Covid unique

this was my first thought after seeing the title of this thread. Well played sir! Well played!
 
Myocardia isn't an either/or thing, there are degrees of severity. COVID produces a strong inflammatory response in the body, much worse than the cold.
.....In certain patients.

You kinda forgot a crucial part of your statement.

Did you read it?
Yea a RARE inflammation of the heart.. now for a active young adult probably even less chance.. if doctors are not concerned then you shouldn’t be either.. smarter people then us are making the best decision on what they know.

Sounds to me like enhanced myocardial screening for anyone who tests positive, symptomatic or not, with the chance that someone will be sidelined for three months if tests come back poorly. OSU study would put that incidence at 15%.
 
Bruce Feldman at USA Today says tonight the new target has been Thanksgiving but they are not arriving at a consensus to start yet. There is no way in hell they’re playing in October. And if they’re not playing in October they might at well not play at all.

Four at OSU alone, actually. From a pool of 26. Those four athletes should not compete for three months

No, those four athletes should each make individual decisions that reflect the risks and rewards that are unique to them as individuals.

Life's full of risks, but specific risks aren't the same for all. Similarly, the rewards derived from assuming those risks aren't the same for all. Perhaps most importantly, the relative value each individual places on the risks and rewards that are unique to them differ from one individual to the next.

This is why top-down, one-size-fits-all decision-making invariably produces worse results than does leaving decisionmaking in the the hands of the right people who make decisions for the right reasons (each individual).

LOL

"For those who test positive for myocarditis, he said, the standard protocol of rest for three months from rigorous physical activity applies. But those who test negative can resume after the COVID protocols are followed."

No one reads anymore. Snappy headline is all people need.

Everyone reads. The problem is those of you who can't think.

No, absolutely in no way should a student athlete make a that decision...
 
Sick burn bro.

Sounds like if you get COVID and have positive tests for myocarditis, your season is over.

Have all athletes had a baseline test of their hearts regarding myocarditis so they know if they have ever had an issue with this prior to COVID-19? If not, how can you make a decision regarding each player and their ability to play?

This is all just smoke and mirrors in trying to prevent the B1G from play football when the NFL, ACC, B12, NBA, MLB, NHL, and high school sports, yes sports are all playing, right now. The B1G liberals should be ashamed of themselves for turning this into a political football.

But myocarditis has also been frequently linked to influenza, correct? Are student athletes constantly getting heart examinations and EKGs after every round of the flu?

Say the risk for myocarditis is a whopping 4x as prevalent in COVID than for influenza, does that mean we should dismiss the potential risk to those student athletes with the common flu? Should sports be suspended if that potential risk (liability) is still there? Nobody has wanted to answer me on that one yet.

4 of 26 is high.

We don't know the answers to a lot of your questions.

It is far rarer than 15% of an otherwise heathy population

You’re right, and that’s because nobody has ever looked in to influenza myocarditis in student athletes before, even though we know without question it can be an issue. So we’ve been perfectly fine with players being put at risk for IM (not to mention brain injuries, heat stroke, paralysis, etc) but we’re drawing a line now with COVID.

I sure wish someone would share what the cutoff threshold is before something isn’t a problem anymore. Then we can start inquiring programs from around the league to document how many of their athletes are symptomatic. Just do us a favor and don’t ask the PSU team doctor that pulled 35% out his ass when PSU didn’t have a single reported issue.
