To follow that up, the obvious, these kids aren't just playing a game - they're playing for their future. Many of these young men don't have backup plans and they NEED football.

The anti-compensation OWGs on the football issues thread would like a word with you...
 
 
Yikes that escalated quickly.
 
Apparently, they’re finding heart damage from the virus even in some asymptotic athletes.

Link? Wondering how they are testing this. EKG would be the only one that makes sense. Not sure they’re going to do be doing any corona angiograms or heart biopsies on asymptomatic healthy people.

“ Lately, physicians are identifying the condition in young, healthy Americans — including athletes. “The last month or two, even asymptomatic young people are developing myocardial injury,” Martinez says.”
 
All Fall sports damn well well better be cancelled. Anything else is PURE stupid!!

Wait I thought the death rate was the only number that mattered? Who cares if infected people end up with life altering chronic ailments! Reopen America! The virus will end on November 3rd!
 
The testing situation is much, much better and should be licked within a week. We have an FDA approved malaria drug which is showing anecdotal evidence of working in Europe, and the supplies are plentiful. There are many other drugs in development which may become available under compassionate use, and the FDA is clearly working with urgency and creativity. The medical device industry has mobilized to manufacture thousands of ventillators. The acute issue we have is protecting our healthcare workers for the next month until supplies can catch up. It is inexcusable that nearly the entire supply chain for gowns, booties, masks and shields was off-shored. This unfortunately will take time to fix. The best thing we can all do to help reduce the need for protective gear for our healthcare workers is to avoid contact with each other.

Keep in mind that in addition to technology, the US has a huge worldwide competitive advantage in biotech, pharma, diagnostics and medical devices. I am confident that these industries will lead us out of this mess. We are comparatively better off that many other countries.

Woof.
