Batting .350

Those who have even a passing acquaintance with science have understood the warnings from physicians and epidemiologists: long term morbidity from Covid-19 is not a hoax or even a guess. All those covidiots demanding football, in particular college football (the billion dollar betting action makes no difference, right?), had better start listening. They cried Bloody Murder!! As mentioned in these missives more than once: how many students, teachers, and staff have to die in school venues for them to admit that they're fucking stupid? Not to mention, naturally, greedy.

The Big Ten is one conference that, so far, has called off fall sports, in particular the football season. Now, to no surprise, we get a report that Covid-19 is the gift that keeps on giving.

Wayne Sebastianelli, Penn State's director of athletic medicine, revealed that 30 to 35 percent of the cardiac MRI scans conducted on Big Ten athletes who had contracted Covid-19 appeared to show myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. The announcement came during the State College Area Board of School Directors meeting.

For specifics, here's the wiki article on myocarditis.

In young adults, up to 20% of all cases of sudden death are due to myocarditis.

Will one dead lineman be enough for these morons to toss in the towel? Or is the betting game to precious?

For those interested, this is a lay-level report on Covid-19 and Myocarditis.
