Ridiculous. Have the players sit out that are positive and move on. They wouldn’t do this dumb arse shite for the Flu

Has any player / coach / staff member at the professional or college level even been hospitalized from the virus?

Raheem Morris hasn't even found his head coach parking spot yet.

Believe me, you would know all about it if that were the case, because national media would be going wonker bonkers over it.

You don't remember the story about that Indiana football player who had heart issues and was taken to the ER after contracting COVID? It was probably one of the major driving factors on why Big 10 school presidents didn't want to have a football season this year.

the problem is the lag in getting accurate positive tests

if you wait too long, it will spread too much

Not true for all age groups. It is significantly worse for older folks. For NFL players, it’s less risky than the flu.

For some people it is, but for the vast majority of people, no, its not.

So basically, it is the flu.

I know a Division II player died from complications of COVID-19. I don't know the whole story behind that or what the complications were.
