I thought he was a frosh?

He is a Freshman

I read today where Notre Dame has halted practice due to having 5 players test positive and all total 11 in isolation due to contact. Their medical staff is meeting tomorrow to determine when practice can resume.

Lies, fake news, conspiracy, people are stupid, masks don’t work, blah blah blah

If its Myocarditis then he will be recovered in 3 to 6 months.

If its Myocarditis then he will be recovered in 3 to 6 months.

Oh well, in that case . . .

 

[davethevol]

Yep. And it also occurs with strep and the flu. It’s not uncommon. That being said, hopefully he makes a full recovery.

Careful! The truth isn't too well received in here. The Death rate from covid for persons 60 and under is 0.002. That's TWO TENTHS Of a %. Hardly Pandemic Lock down numbers. We are being manipulated.

Wasn't trying to be a jerk, just saying he was never a former Vol opponent.

I didn’t check his year. Sorry.

So myocarditis with strep and flu is common? Is that what you’re saying? Because the literature classifies it as a rare disease

Myocarditis - NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders)

Viral infection is the most common cause of myocarditis. When you have one, your body produces cells to fight it. These cells release chemicals. If the disease-fighting cells enter your heart, some chemicals they release can inflame your heart muscle.

Common cause does not translate into common occurrence

Thats true, I was just quoting an article

Notice I didn’t say “it’s common.” I said “uncommon,” meaning that it does happen.

You said it’s not uncommon. I just cited evidence that it is

The incidence and prevalence of myocarditis are not known from population-based studies because there is no widely available test that can be applied at a population level.

 

[golfballs]

In truth, I would probably have more concern about CTE than COVID myocarditis.”

Interesting point. If people aren’t willing to cancel football over risks of long term brain damage, why should they over risks of a temporary and typically mild heart condition - especially when it’s only linked by 1 flimsy study.

I had “ocular migraines” several years back. Where I’d get tunnel vision or see floaters and spots. MRI revealed it was due to inflammation in my optic nerve. The eye Dr said I likely just got a bug/virus and my immune response triggered the inflammation. He said it can happen to different tissues in the body. When it’s the heart it’s myocarditis. He said it wasnt too worrisome about as it would just go away, which it did quickly and wasn’t ever severe.

I think the point is that it’s a condition which any kind of virus can trigger regardless of the the virus

It really isn’t uncommon. It doesn’t happen with every case, but it happens more frequently than most people know.

 

[The Original Fade]

10-20 cases per 100,000 people according to the National Organization for Rare Diseases. That’s a .00015 chance of developing myocarditis in the general population. There’s not a medical professional on the planet that would agree with you that it’s “more common than most people know” based on those numbers

No. The incidence rate of myocarditis

Right. With people that end up hospitalized with the flu and such, the percentage is quite different, thus my “not uncommon.” Yes, rare, but it happens and isn’t something that is unheard of. Keep splitting hairs though if it helps you sleep at night.
