30-35 percent of Big Ten Athletes that tested postive for COVID-19 (both symptomatic and not) had myocarditis.

It probably wouldn’t be any different if we tested them after the common cold ran through a team. It’s pretty common with a lot of viruses.

This is not true. Myocarditis can be caused from viruses, but is rare. Despite being rare, in young athletes that suddenly die, it shows up in about 10% of the cases.

Do you think players that are not playing football, that are at home will still catch COVID? Yes, if they are not following proper guidelines.

Do you think that when they catch COVID their chances of being tested and confirmed to have COVID are more or less likely if they are at home? Have no clue

Do you think that football players who catch COVID at home are at risk of myocarditis? Yes

Do you think that football players at home are likely to continue working out to stay in football shape? Have no clue

Do you think that players that are at home working out are more or less likely to identify that they are experiencing myocarditis compared to football players who are on campus in a controlled team environment? Have no clue. Since the players are on campus working out, it would be tough to compare.

Do you think football players are safer in a team environment or on their own?

Thats a loaded question, how would i know?

-Are you more likely to catch COVID when you are at home or when you are around 125 people?

-If you do catch COVID and have an enlarged heart, are you safer not working out or working out?

-If you stay at home and do online courses, what are your chances of catching COVID?
