New data helps illustrate what Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren might have meant when he described “too much medical uncertainty and too many unknown health risks” as reasons for postponing the Big Ten’s 2020-21 fall sports season.
During a State College Area school board of directors meeting on Monday night, Wayne Sebastianelli — Penn State’s director of athletic medicine — made some alarming comments about the link between COVID-19 and myocarditis, particularly in Big Ten athletes. Sebastianelli said that cardiac MRI scans revealed that approximately a third of Big Ten athletes who tested positive for COVID-19 appeared to have myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle that can be fatal if left unchecked.

A third of COVID cases causing heart issues. That can be a career ender for a would-be athlete. These are young people at the peak of physical health. Universities, the NFL, NBA, etc, could stand to lose billions of dollars trying to go forward with games as normal.

But don’t worry guys... it’s just a flu.

The missus is retired healthcare and suspects that steroids may play a part myocarditis, as well as the virus.

The missus is retired healthcare and suspects that steroids may play a part myocarditis, as well as the virus.

Thirty percent seems awfully high for steroid use. Unless you mean steroids as a response to a COVID infection.

It is about to magically disappear.

It is about to magically disappear.

Just two more months and the virus is gone from the world.
