Sorry, but you were wrong about Von Miller and there is no proof confirming long term heart or lung damage I don’t understand the focus on a vaccine when it’s proven this is a treatable virus.First you said not one athlete has died. When I pointed out that at least one had, you said you were only talking about youth players. I pointed out this is a thread about D1 soccer and wondered why every thread needs to be about your situation. This is a thread about D1 soccer. If you have something to contribute to this discussion, please do. I wish the best to your player and am excited to hear she is receiving interest from coaches.
The bottom line is how many D1 athlete deaths due to COVID are acceptable? What is the acceptable level for D1 athletes to get permanent lung or heart damage? We do not have a reliable testing system, so we really do not have enough information to make an informed decision. Based on the haphazard way testing has been implemented, I do not have strong hopes that a vaccine will salvage the 20/21 college sports season.
We have piles of information on the virus and how it affects the body, including studies showing how many deaths can be attributed to misdiagnosis this mistreatment (in these cases it wasn’t negligence, just situational and lack of knowledge).
