Well, I'm elderly as well, but the simple question posed in the post was whether anyone is aware of a football player being diagnosed with myocarditis as a result of contracting covid. So far, nobody has cited an actual case. Are you aware of any such cases. It would make willycat very happy if you found one.
Myocarditis
- Thread starter Alan Smithee_rivals156293
- Start date
Lots of high schools and colleges are practicing and playing games, and, so far no known and confirmed cases of corona related myocarditis. Do you know of any?
I just saw a 28 year old teacher died of Covid-19 a few days ago. Football will likely be on the backburner for a while. Maybe we can have hoops this year! The lady wildcats were also exceptional last year and were robbed by COVID 19. We will have a restricted economy until we are pushed to the brink. Then, things may be a " he'll or high water" type of atmosphere. College coaches can't go on the "waiver wire" so if rosters become depleted,that's another issue. Either way,revenues are gonna be way,way down and athletic department budgets will be under the microscope for a few years.
Come on Chores stop with such b.s.. Guess you would be happy if games can be played while we are still battling this killer virus. Maybe starting in 01/2001 when we get a real president things might change for the better.
In the 6th paragraph of the article (link) there is a quote from a tOSU cardiologist indicating myocarditis rate in atheletes who recovered from COVID 19 is 10 to 13%.
I also wish I could follow Wildcats sports this fall/winter but the "abundance of caution" approach seems prudent until there are more studies. Hopefully if the conferences playing FB this fall make it through the season without major COVID outbreaks, some degree of normalcy will return in 2021

Hey willy, all I asked for is the identity of a single player who has been diagnosed with myocarditis. Keep searching, and get the political commentary over to the rant board where it belongs.
2001? I am not sure if he is pinning for Slick Willy or W. If I had a guess I would bet it is Slick Willy. His mind wanders in the middle of the night when he posts and then regurgitates the same caca while calling everybody that disagrees with him as stupid.
Is the rate of myocarditis significantly different for non-athletes? Does the physical nature of sports add to the risk. Don’t know the answer,. However, sending my daughter to a college campus in a large city was deemed as acceptable to the powers to be that run that university. Is she more “expendable” than an athlete? If you want to have an abundance of caution, then fine, but shouldn’t you have it for everyone?
It's great news if no players are getting myocarditis or other long-term problems. I gather most known cases of myocarditis are in older people who've been autopsied.
However, what's the story here? He may not be an athlete but he's a 21-yo with heart failure. https://www.foxnews.com/health/coronavirus-florida-man-heart-failure
I am a retired radiologist (not cardiologist or infectious disease specialist) but read a radiology newsletter several days per week.
Myocarditis is often diagnosed via MRI scans ..don't know for sure but my educated guess is that young non-athletes would suffer this complication at about same rate as athletes. Remember this virus has only been around for less than a year so there is a lot yet to be learned about long term consequences. Based on radiology literature there are many potential chronic issues (lung, heart, brain, kidneys) but college age kids would be less susceptible than the 60+ age population.
BTW don't forget what happened to Ryan Padgett..he is 45 years old and presumably in good health and COVID almost killed him

Thanks for posting the Dr. Baggish article.
A prudent approach to starting the sesaon might be to performing frequent rapid testing on all athletes. Players who test positive would have cardiac MR and if they have myocarditis would not be allowed to play until they undergo further cardiac testing.
Hopefully the conference will vote to carefully begin the season
