He acknowledges that the cases in athletes with COVID-related heart impacts are very small. Among professional, college and youth league athletes, he’s seen no more than a dozen in the US.

So way less than the extremely small group of amateur athletes that die on the court and field each year from rare genetic heart conditions, heat strokes, and aneurisms? Way way less.

I would wager to say Way more than than 12 die each year in car accidents on the way to the gym or stadium to play sports so just go ahead and cancel everything, sports, work, life in general if that’s going to be the threshold for risk now.

I’ve got it! Let’s just have the whole world back to being nomadic herders because Covid. That way we can ensure almost NO more interaction with anyone on the plant except our small tribe of 50 or less— it’s tailor made for social distancing guidelines and everything. It would also solve the lefts man- made global warming problem as well so it’s a 2 for 1.
