I don't think the worry was with the athletes, but rather them going home and spreading it to parents and grandparents.

At least that is what I would have been concerned about, rather than the health risks for kids that can run up and down stadium steps a hundred times without losing their breath.

Somewhere, Dan Woken and Pat Forde are weeping that there aren't more deaths.

I hear the “hospital capacity” garbage. Here in the DFW they had a convention center set up for the over capacity of hospitals. It was never used.

Tuscaloosa spent large portions of the Summer edging close to capacity for their COVID wing. I figured this was obvious by the nature of my post but the problem was less large metros like DFW but midsize cities that have to support both their metro area and rural satellites that have zero capacity. The problem was capacity broadly spread across the country. Healthcare service having geographic disjointness in this country was a problem before the pandemic but was exacerbated by the pandemic. Similarly, all the high risk factors were COVID were basically the laundry list of existing American health problems.

People want to act like this was all some faked spook. It was not...the virus hit us in the achilles heel of several preexisting individual health problems and health system infrastructure conundrums.

Of course they did. Good news doesn't sell nearly as well as outrage/panic news and the OrAngE MaN BaD.

not making a value judgement on the Summer 2020 panic that caused the Big Ten and Pac-12 to cancel their seasons (prematurely in retrospect)....but ~1% of a large population is still a lot of people


You just rounded up almost 50% (0.3 increase over 0.7 percentage points) and assumed it was definite. The quoted portion in the OP states that the 0.7% were possible, probable, and definite. So not even 0.7% of the athletes had myocarditis

The reason we ended up in this scenario was due to hospital capacity problems. We may have one of the most advanced medical systems in the world but the distribution of capacity is subpar for a first world nation.


I understand the initial reasoning early on in the first waves, but nowhere, and I mean nowhere we’re hospitals in the United States overwhelmed. What happens to the triage hospitals and the military medical ship in NY? What about the convention center hospital in NOLA? Not a single person in America does because they couldn’t get into the hospital due to COVID.

Name a first world country that handled this better from a hospital standpoint than the US?

Don’t forget that the Harris campaign ran an add showing The Big House and The Horseshoe empty with narration and captions blaming Trump for causing football to be cancelled. That add was quickly scrubbed from TV when the SEC and ACC said frick you guys were playing.

If you’re going to talk capacity at least speak about it honestly. We never were close to running out of beds. Some hospitals were stretched dangerously thin with nurses though, and ironically other hospitals were so slow they had to cut some nurses due to budgets.

The hatred for President Trump showed just how biased even “science” is. When your system is set up for the scientific community to be massively dependent on grants approved by disgusting liar politicians we shouldn’t have been too shocked.

I’ve seen first hand the pressures of people doing what it takes to ensure getting another multi-million dollar grant. The myth of the neutral scientist is Santa for adults.

That’s actually much higher than I thought it would be and kinda scary. But does it define “heart issues” anywhere?
