I have not had it but my neighbors, the entire family has it. They are on day 11 quarantined (At least the parents are) and have a 16 and 14 year old. I have called them 3 times since I was aware and they have had little trouble.
Since I was already going to Kroger this evening I dropped some food off at their front door. (Called them before I left and a 6 pack was on his menu lol).
Anyway, the parents are in their early 40’s. Just curious if anyone else knows someone with Covid and their age and how well they are doing or did. Is sports cancellations more about protecting older coaches etc? Just curious what you guys think.

I think the main logic of it is to keep players from infecting each other and other teams and then spreading it back to campus and everywhere else they go.

I know a very healthy mid 30s guy get it and was bad sick for about 2 days. I'm not sure he has gotten his sense of taste back

everyone I've known personally that has had COVID had extremely mild symptoms. The age ranges were late 20s to mid 60s. I believe one of my distant family members in their late 80s had it and recovered, not sure how bad their symptoms were. Don't know anyone personally who's been hospitalized or been deathly ill from it.

Well that does make sense. I only know that young healthy people seem to do just fine but yeah, I can see that. Just wasn’t thinking. I know the SEC has specific rules about not playing a game if ex number players have it. Oh well, I just hope this crap doesn’t go well into 2021 or wreck baseball season.

I know 4 people who had it. Two were in their early 80s and were sick for 3+ weeks. Their recovery has been steady if slow. Their daughter, who is 50 and still working, also got it and was sick for a week and has completely recovered.
The 4th person I know is an ULL student who is 20. She got sick on Memorial Day and was sick for 2 months. Her recovery has been slow but she plans to return to school in January. Given her perfect health, it is amazing how long she has been sick.

Well crap, glad I haven’t gotten it then. It’s really weird how some have no issues at all where someome else same age has problems.
I bet we will eventually find out it hits people with a certain blood type or something in their gene pool (Kinda like breast cancer) that makes them more prone to get it bad etc.

Supposedly my blood type, a+, is the worst, I just read that last night but there are differing study results on that.
I’ve known (or know of) several who have had it, from mild to hardly any symptoms, to describing it like a sinus infection- that would be the majority. Then I know of a husband and wife who had worse symptoms- he was even hospitalized for awhile but they are both ok now. They do think may have some lingering lung issues. I know of one guy in his 50s and a few in their 80s who passed away with it. They all 3 were high risk with other health problems.

There it's already some research linking the severity of symptom to blood type.
As I understand it, symptom severity is predicated on 2 things: 1) viral load (meaning how much and how long you have been exposed to the virus) which would explain why someone young and ostensibly healthy would have such a severe reaction, and 2) Pre-existing condition (such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, upper respiratory condition like asthma) which has been well documented already.

I'm in my 30s, I had very mild symptoms for a few days. It felt like a kind of strep throat, so it was hard to do cardio

I had it really early and initially thought I was having altitude sickness (living in Central Alabama at around 70 feet above sea level). I was pretty sick for three days or so and felt off kilter for a few weeks afterwards. I'm a healthy guy 45 years old. My older sister (early 50's) got it and was extremely sick (not hospital but could barely eat, dizzy, like a really bad flu) for three weeks back in July and is still tired. My oldest nephew (23 years old in extremely good condition) was hella sick for a week or so in early August and bounced back but still sometimes gets tired. He's a sheriff's deputy and works in the jail and basically all of his coworkers have gotten it with varying symptoms.

That makes perfect sense. I hate to admit it but I don’t remember my blood type lol.

I think typo O has the least symptoms

There are thousands of kids at any given college, spreading "covid" at some rate every damn day. Dumbass. Its a show. An act.

It’s not the students where the concern lies.
It’s the adults.
Coaches, staff, professors, administrators, parents, custodians, grandparents, etc.

Have known several folks who have had it.
My best friend who is 54 had it and struggled to get it over it. Never went to the hospital but was down for two weeks and took two months to get his energy back. Full disclosure, he is overweight and diabetic.
I know two men in their early to mid 70's who had it. One had symptoms similar to a severe cold and was over it in a matter of days. The other, wound up in the hospital and is still there after two weeks. This gentlemen has had health problems for several years.
Wife's cousin had it. Mid 40's, excellent health, distance runner. Struggled and wound up in the hospital during the initial run of it in Louisiana which seemed to be just post Mardi Gras.
My BIL had it. Mid 40's, overweight, wound up in the hospital for one night and then sent home. Was sick about two weeks.
If there was ever a reason to take care of yourself once you get to be 50, this should be it.

Exactly. . . Students spreading it out in general to everyone they contact from the campuses and shops in their college towns to all their hometowns.
Certainly there's no way to stop the spread 100%.
However, people playing like they can't see any logic in preventing Covid positive kids from competing against each other in sports which render any kind of distancing impossible just doesn't strike me as genuine.
