They going to keep on beating that drum aren't they? Already known that myocarditis is caused by any number of viruses, including "The Clap"!

I was just thinking the same thing when I read the thread topic. BIG will not go down w/o a fight that their decision was the right one. Maybe they end up being right but doubt it.

Well Alabama has some pretty smart doctors too.

What say them?

Others have tried to validate this assertion, and no other schools reported myocarditis from their athletes who have had COVID. Oregon St said they had one with a heart inflammation, but it was not myocarditis.

I get an increased heart rate from time to time but its not from myocarditis.

There is alot of conflicting information on this. It does sound as if this could cause myocarditis.

Q&A: Mayo Clinic doctor advises about myocarditis risk for athletes

Myocarditis, or the inflammation of the heart, has been linked to COVID-19 and was a primary reason for the Big Ten's cancellation of football.

One place zero, one 35+ is enough to confuse a guy.

BTW, these 30+ guys practicing? B1G teams are.

I see no mention that they are at higher risk from myocarditis if they catch Covid on the practice or playing field than if they catch it at a party or at Kroger. With proper testing and treatment they will be fine in either case. They will get better testing and treatment on campus during a season. Will some players be sidelined for a few months out of caution due to MRI abnormalities after a positive Covid test? Yes. Is that the right process? Yes. Sending them home will actually hurt some of them from a testing and treatment standpoints.

Pray to these guys/gals will get better soon!

Get checked for AFIB. You are at major risk of a stroke. I have it. My wife has “prolonged QT” the wrong OTC med could have huge repercussions. She coded 6 different times over the space of about 6-8 months before they figured it out. She has a pacemaker/defib.
i can remember my AFIB attacks going back to early 30s. I almost died.

I remember those days....too

Why am I not surprised? "No cases..."

A bunch of people just throw crap out and it comes back to bite them..... Just stop if you do not have hard data do not speculate and toss stuff out there.

Well this is a message board we do not have official titles in front of our name that should mean we are speaking from a place of knowledge and authority. With that said I do stay at Holiday in Express occasionally so it enables me to become an expert.
