Just pointing out that the disease does not affect everyone the same way... some people have very few symptoms while some others get knocked out for weeks or even months. It is entirely possible that it CAN be used as an excuse for a kid who had a bad infection and CAN'T be used as an excuse for a kid who had a very minor infection.

We don't know the severity of each kid's infection so we have nothing to base our conditioning expectations on. I have seen CT scans of people who were asymptomatic whose lungs look like they smoked a pack of cigarettes every day for 30 years, and others who had very minor damage that they recovered from quickly. Add in the fact that in some instances, it can cause inflammation of heart tissue, which basically requires full shutdown of athletic activities until the situation is resolved.

It's the main thing that makes this disease so freaking frustrating to deal with - it's almost like a different disease for different people.
