Big 10 athletes aren’t [i]children[/i], I think a distinction needs to be made here, and this is what the article is referencing.

I’m concerned with the typical “one size fits all” government approach, and no allowances made for age, comorbidities and underlying conditions, and the rest of it, including natural immunity conferred by having acquired Covid 19 and recovered from it.

Also, where are the health “czars” to inform everyone (for example) and explain that metabolic syndrome and/or obesity is the leading indicator on poor outcomes associated with Covid? Nary a peep.

Here's a screenshot from the actual article so we can all agree what it's talking about:

Can we further agree that Big 10 athletes are under 30? Then yes, that is indeed what the article is talking about.

"Also, where are the health “czars” to inform everyone (for example) and explain that metabolic syndrome and/or obesity is the leading indicator on poor outcomes associated with Covid? Nary a peep."

On this we completely agree. There should be a lot more discussion in the public space about how sedentary lifestyles and bad eating habits are contributing to massive amounts of death and disease. Not even just for COVID-19, but also heart disease, cancer, and other major health problems. If people got off their butts to exercise and ate better, we'd see probably half our healthcare costs disappear.
