How frequently are all college athletes checked for myocarditis?
So the NFL should cancel the kneeling and the entire season....right?
In other news athletes who have a leg amputated have been found to run slower than their ‘abled’ competition.
More government study is needed.
The snake pit that is PSU put this out?
Michael Mann’s employer?
Trust but verify.
Steroid use side effect?
94% of college and pro football players will develop some level of CTE (brain damage). The idea of shutting down football for Chicom flu but not for CTE is laughable.
BS.
Absolute BS
It would be nice to know how they are diagnosing myocarditis. There is a big difference between a low level positive enzyme in the blood stream and full blown congestive heart failure. Many other viruses cause myocarditis so this is not unique to covid
So, where is the random, double blind, peer reviewed, scientific study to back this up? Sounds anecdotal to me.
(Don’t think I’d trust anything out of PSU anyways.. bit of a backstory on credibility!)
Everyone doubted hydroxychloriquine without random, double blind, peer reviewed studies, why should anyone believe you? Go run a 6 month test with hundreds or thousands and let us know!
By the way, all the scientific studies on masks pre-covid: they don’t work against a virus. Just sayin’
“You could have a very high-level athlete who’s got a very superior VO2 max and cardiac output ...”
How many are football players who are morbidly obese? How many use anabolic steroids? (Near 100% in some sports). Athletes are not necessarily the epitome of health. How many who didn’t have the virus have cardiac damage?
20 seconds on Google: Myocarditis
“In fact, it most often affects otherwise healthy, young, athletic types with the high-risk population being those of ages from puberty through their early 30’s, affecting males twice as often as females.”
Hmmm, is the Big Ten big in Mississippi? I don’t think so.
Are the schools assuming that not playing football will decrease the player’s likelihood of catching the Chinese virus?
Is there a study that compares the differences in the rates or infection/early detection/etc...between athletes and non-athletes on campus?
Then let the athletes seek their own 2nd opinion and make up their own mind.
First, NBA, college basketball, college baseball, college lacrosse, and tons of high school athletes were playing their sports when China virus hit China virus hit in January but we did not realize it until March. Not one athlete died. High school kids in many parts of the country are playing football right now. Not a single death. I see cross country runners running up and down the street. Not a single death. I am calling official bullshit.
Fortunately, that is not true with the SEC.
On the other hand, Alabama caved to the America haters - Roll Over Tide.
Yep, fake news. You wait a couple of days, and here it is:

Inaccurate? “At this time, there have been no cases of myocarditis in COVID-19 positive student-athletes at Penn State.” More like full-on psy-ops Bravo Sierra.
