The issue that a lot of people don't realize is the amount of inflammation in a lot of asymptomatic people's lungs. It's too early to know what is going to happen in the long term, but this absolutely has the potential to affect an athlete's exercise tolerance for life.

Yeah, you see it in people who are IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
Did it occur to you that people who are asymptomatic, or have minor symptoms, might have less inflammation? And they might not go to the emergency room.

The stated goal of the government from day one was to “flatten the curve” to prevent health services from being overwhelmed.
That was accomplished. It was never the plan to prevent everyone from ever getting it.
Now suddenly we are trying to keep everyone in a bubble until a vaccine that may never come is developed.
So, assuming virtually everyone will get it, it would be better to control the other variables and get it at a time of your choosing:
1. When you are otherwise healthy and have no other ailments.
2. In the summer where the weather is good and other viruses a minimal.
3. If you are an athlete, you are at LSU with great healthcare
4. You can isolate from at risk family members
5. You don’t risk missing football games which could impact your NFL career and cost you money.
Planning to just not get it, is no plan at all.

First I’ve heard of this.
So young, healthy folks have interior problems?
