Chaos In Ohio Football...Season On The Brink

Honest question: Once the first case comes in from a football game, who do the parents (who wanted the season) sue first, the School District or OHSAA?

This October will be a collision of the flu, colds, and COVID-19 rampant, how will anyone distinguish all of them together and not keep everyone safe.

This might be THE DUMBEST thing I have ever read!

I am all for sports this fall 100%....But this person isnt wrong...the symptoms of coved19 are very similar to the flu, and the common cold. How and who will distinguish between them? Every time a child gets sick are they going to be excluded from activities until tested for covid?? This season is going to be very interesting.

Biggest fear is Covid mutating with the flu. That will shut down the entire state for months.

Question, how has people differentiated between these two diseases from Covid for the last 6 and a half months? Things have continued, summer sports were played with no major problems!

Covid isn’t a death sentence just because you test positive. Most people are surviving it and basically all of the people under 20 aren’t affected

I am definitely in the let them play camp, but if such a policy is deemed necessary at the high school level -----?

Why more college, pro athletes with coronavirus are required to have heart screenings

There is a rising concern that athletes who become infected with the new coronavirus may suffer from long-term cardiac issues, and sports organizations are responding with required heart screenings, USA Today reports.

Recent research has shown that COVID-19 infections may cause inflammation in the heart for months. A study published in JAMA Cardiology at the end of June examined cardiac magnetic resonance images from 100 COVID-19 patients in Germany. Seventy-eight of the patients had abnormal cardiac MRIs, and 60 showed signs of ongoing myocardial inflammation.

At an Aug. 13 media briefing, Brian Hainline, MD, CMO of the NCAA, said that of the athletes at NCAA institutions who have tested positive for COVID-19, at least 12 were later found to have myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. Eduardo Rodriguez, a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, developed myocarditis after contracting COVID-19 earlier this year. He will not pitch in the 2020 baseball season.

"We know that if you exercise when you have active inflammation or a cardiac injury, that is a known cause of sudden death; we have to screen for this," Matthew Martinez, MD, consulting cardiologist for the NBA Players Association, told USA Today.

Thus, health experts are urging cardiac screenings for athletes who contract COVID-19. Both the NBA and NFL now require a cardiac screening for all players who have tested positive for the new coronavirus.

The NHL has implemented heart-related measures in its protocols governing athletes returning to play. These include requiring athletes to undergo an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and a high-sensitivity test for troponins.

Major League Baseball says that a cardiac evaluation can be conducted "at the discretion of the team physician" for coronavirus-positive athletes.

The inflammation of the heart from a virus has been around since there have been humans and viruses!

These studies are as old as time itself. Just another scare tactic. Same with the flu, no different

Honest response, no one because they have no grounds. Is the parent going to sue work because they picked up the virus from work?? Parent going to sue because they got the virus from a hair salon, from the checkout person at walmart?? Parent going to sue the school because their kid got it at school?? Going to sue because the waiter gave it to them at the restaurant they decided to go out to eat to?? How about the hotel they decided to stay at on the vacation they went on or the city they decided to vacation in?? The airline they decided to fly on to take that vacation?? The dentist or the doctor the kids needed to see?? How about the parents of the friend they allowed to stay the night of or went to their house?? Does the kid sue his parents for taking him out of the house on finding a way to contract the virus?? Going to sue the baby sitter for giving it to the kids, while they were watching them so you could work?? Hope you get where I'm going with this, because that's about as real and as honest as one can get.
