[QUOTE="AlabamaBuzz, post: 737546, member: 906"] As a reminder, 70% of patients studied in Germany who had gotten COVID-19 showed heart problems afterwards. And these were 45-55 year olds, not young athletes. Someone mentioned the Russian Roulette analogy earlier. If you have a revolver that holds 1000 bullets, that's probably a great analogy. The vast vast majority are fine, with most that age not even getting sick in the first place. But there is that 1000th bullet. Its a weird dynamic right now, with many other health issues like CTE being better known and definitively worse on football players. Its almost like its so well known everybody is okay with the risk because they can see it, but something that is magnitudes less dangerous but magnitudes less well known has got them hung up. But not hung up enough to stop tens of thousands of students from coming back on campuses in most cases. 🤷♂️ [/QUOTE] And, on regular "seasonal" influenza, I have not see many heart problems for people under the age of 55 before. This thing, per our local cardiologists and neurologists, is 10X more incendiary than the standard influenza.
