Yea - that says more about your very limited regional knowledge than it does about Birmingham and their medical community.
UAB (FYI, the "B" is for Birmingham) is ranked in the Top 10 nationally in nursing, #1 in Health Administration, Top 35 in medical schools (Top 10 in public medical schools) and #19 in Public Health.
So, try to expand your horizons. You might learn something.

The Covid-19 coronavirus certainly wouldn’t be the first virus to cause myocarditis or pericarditis. A range of viruses can cause such conditions such as the adenovirus, hepatitis B and C viruses, parvovirus, Epstein Barr virus, and herpes simplex virus.
We’re also being told it can have long-lasting lung damage, and long-term neurological consequences and affect pretty much every system. I’m guessing that not all of those are true.

Or how about the health and education of America as a whole? Less than 35% of all Americans have graduated from higher education and more than 60% of all Americans are considered overweight.

Anecdotal evidence is not evidence.

Nevertheless, the MRIs did show that 78% of the patients had some type of abnormality in their hearts. These ranged from signs of inflammation to enlarged left ventricles to decreased ability of their hearts to pump blood to the rest of the body. Many of these findings were consistent with patients having myocarditis or pericarditis.
That part, if true, is kind of scary to be honest.

Well, if the guy from Texas is your doc at the free clinic who doles out your Valtrex and Biktarvy that makes sense.
But they have a few more educated there...

Normally I'm on board with poking fun at southerners, but this thread is an embarrassment, stop

I didn’t post a blind link. This board software converted it to one. Blame it.
What's it like being an idiot?...

This is hard pill for a lot to swallow around here seeing as how football is king in the southeast but another thing to consider and something that goes under appreciated is the prevalence of sickle cell disease in the AA community and how that disease has bad outcomes when combined with COVID.
COVID is a blood clotting disease. This is now known. Sickle cell puts you in a very high risk of clotting for a number of reasons. Add to that getting a little dehydrated from playing football or other sports + minor sickle cell disease + minor underlying COVID and you’ve got a serious problem on your hands.
Just a bad situation all around and too much liability.

If it's such a liability then why are school presidents okay with having students on campus for in-person classes?

All kidding aside, it really is a blood clotting disease. That’s my point. You don’t just necessarily get over it like you do a cold.

Why in the frick did we let Missouri in the SEC? I love watching you completely ignore educated responses to your Huffington Post clickbait bullshite article while you call everyone else uneducated

Their “better than thou” arrogance is insufferable.
Posted on 8/10/20 at 8:27 am to Forever
Because obviously we are better than you, minus this thread.

Bingo. It’s the ugly truth of this virus and one a majority of the public is unfortunately unaware of this. Vascular disease is silent, until it’s not.
