[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 735443, member: 2426"] Also, how many of the Ohio State students are going to be involved in competitive sports? The recommendations for myocarditis are not to participate in competitive sports for 3-6 months. In Europe, the recommendation is 6 months, without the 3 to preceding. I haven't seen data or actual reports about the number of SARS-COV-2 infections that result in myocarditis. Apparently, the Big 10 has some information about Big 10 players and myocarditis, but I have only seen unofficial reports of that. It might not be a big deal. However, it might be that anyone in competitive sports who tests positive for virus or antibodies will have to get a heart check before being able to compete in athletic events. From Pros to little league. If it is an issue, people might have to get a heart check with or without a SARS-COV-2 test. I don't know what information the Big 10 has. You don't know what information the Big 10 has. I haven't been trying to make definitive remarks about whether they were correct medically to postpone the season. You have been making very definitive remarks about that. From a liability standpoint, I will say definitively that they are at risk. If they know that asymptomatic players end up with heart conditions that can cause death during athletic events, and they allow players to compete without EKGs before every single workout/practice/game, they will be held liable. Ask Maryland about Mcnair. Students on campus might get COVID-19. If they go to bars and parties, they increase their chances. If they all socially distance and wear masks, they probably won't. Students on campus might get AIDS. If they practice safe sex, they probably won't. Student athletes might get COVOD-19 if they stay on campus. However, if they are not doing extreme workouts and are not competing in games, the chances that they will die from myocarditis is much smaller. (And the athletic department wouldn't be liable) [/QUOTE]
