Message: [QUOTE="longislandcuse, post: 3471846, member: 937"] Those findings are very likely true. All common respiratory viruses can lead to damaging heart conditions. Those conditions can be short term or long term, depending on the person. It’s rare, but has always been known to be a potential complication from the Flu, other Coronaviruses and, obviously, COVID-19. The B1G is just using this as cover to cancel. Now is COVID-19 causing potential heart issues at a higher rate than other respiratory viruses? That’s the question. ...but the Big XII announced more testing and immediate/in-depth cardiac testing for any player who contracts COVID-19. That’s way more protection than the normal student will receive. The player isn’t more at risk of developing a heart issue from COVID due to playing as opposed to catching it on campus or at home.
