The reason I asked is because there is such a wide variation of cases in many places. Some can be explained by the day of the week, but I have been watching hospitalizations, positivity rates, and deaths rather than zeroing in on cases.
Already some interesting results, but obviously a lot more data needed:https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/88076
Personally I'm intrigued by this one. This drug came up in some of my own research/screens as a possible therapeutic.Also, more data today showing a likely connection between the ACE2/Bradykinin axis. https://elemental.medium.com/a-supercomputer-analyzed-covid-19-and-an-interesting-new-theory-has-emerged-31cb8eba9d63

The interviews revealed a striking pattern: Before they died, about two dozen patients first sought care at a hospital, which then discharged them, in many cases sending them home to die with hospice care. All were BlackThat’s right. ALL were black.
Sorry, I’m not meaning in his case, I’m meaning like people getting myocarditis is something specific to COVID when it’s not uncommon in other viral/bacterial situations. Close to half a million cases of myocarditis/pericarditis in the US annually. That’s all
Well this seems crazy high but I guess it could explain why Big Ten made their call. https://www.centredaily.com/sports/college/penn-state-university/psu-football/article245448050.html
We have had multiple athletes in sports recover from Covid, and it doesn't seem like this is a major issue at all. I think the B10 was too hasty with its decision.
Myocarditis can result from literally any viral infection, not just Covid-19. So the question is, does Myocarditis occur more, less, or same for Covid as it does for other viral infections. The fact that it occurs with Covid is almost a non-story. If it occurs more, there is concern, same or less just make sure you are testing for Covid and if you are positive follow up a cardiologist before allowing the player to return to the field.
I agree with this completely other than ‘this is a non story’. Personally I thought 35% seems almost unrealistically high. But it makes sense to figure it out before plowing ahead.
Agreed. It is definitely a story. Whether it’s 35% or 15%, it still seems to be a lot higher than with many viral illnesses. And the fact that it might occur even in asymptomatic patients is particularly frightening.
But again, not exceptional. A friend of mine had myocarditis he got from a cold, not a particularly nasty cold, just some sniffles and congestion for a week that could have been allergies. But he had an already scheduled physical a week or two later and it came up during his exam and was diagnosed.Again, its potentially very serious and not something to mess around with, but its presentation as it relates to COVID is nothing out of the norm and keeps being presented with incomplete or conjecture based conclusions.
Agreed...but given the potential seriousness, it seems we ought to know before we get back to discretionary things like sports and such. And given some of the relatively unique stuff to this virus like asymptomatic spread (and asymptomatic lung and myocardial damage), all the more reason for caution.
