[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 734739, member: 1191"] The doctors state that they aren't sure how widespread the condition may be because they haven't tested enough to get better conclusions. But myocarditis already (pre-covid) accounts for upwards of 5% of athletes deaths every year, and this virus has shown an ability to exaggerate those odds. Also from the linked article: " A recent German study released in July revealed heart inflammation in 60 of 100 recovered virus patients. That number included patients who were asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic. " Again, if it's just a numbers game, then sure, play football and may the odds be ever in your favor, but these are real people out there and a lot of people paid to make big decisions aren't sure that it's worth the human risk.
