We'd need to know how many athletes had a positive covid test and how many got myocarditis. Maybe it's been happening and nobody's said anything, but it seems like they'd be trying to underscore the earlier concerns by announcing it. I've only heard of one from the NFL and one from MLB. Even...

But what has been observed among athletes? How many are in Al Blades' situation? From that same link: Athletes have the same risk as the general population for COVID-19 with a lower risk of complications or severe illness according to COVID-19 infection reports. The Big 10 was claiming 35%...

If you've got something better than one I linked, I'd love to see it.

Hopefully it's nothing too serious.
