Good analysis.

It seems certain that the media would have been all over this story.

I agree. Smells like bullish!t. 2:31 is decent enough for this runner to be moderately well known locally. Surely, you wouldn’t be the only letsrunner familiar with this guy and others would’ve been able to corroborate your story.

The 2:31 marathon post is definitely a lie.

Here's a simple exercise: Google "marathon runner dies from Covid" and you will see that without fail these sensational stories, albeit tragic, do not involve people that would generally be considered fit by Letsrun standards. Perhaps there is an exception out there, but I gave yet to see it.

Hard to differentiate between them regarding their health. They're all dead.

Perhaps all tied for least healthy?

Hi! We’re a group of grad students doing research on sustainability in sport and outdoor brands and would appreciate anyone willing to answer a few questions. Thank you!

The difference between this and an influenza pandemic is that with the latter there would be so many random deaths across all age groups, including many young children, schoolkids and athletes, that a thread like this would be extraneous. Never has a contagious disease been so closely tied to pre-existing health conditions.

This IS true. I do not feel I'm at liberty to indicate the specifics of this case. If the details are to be revealed, they should come from the family or the health authorities involved. I certainly wish only those with pre-existing conditions or the elderly were dying from this virus, but that's not the case. A now there is the possibility of heart and lung damage from this virus. Be careful.

Can you please point me to the article in the local newspaper about this? As already mentioned, a Covid-19 death under the circumstances you indicated would be quite a story. If the family has not gone public with this information they are doing the public a huge disservice.

Why?

The man had died.

What's the big secret?

0/10 again. No one is a 2:31 marathoner without the running community knowing him. If this really happened everyone would know. It would be huge news.

Just give up. You can’t even troll.

I don’t understand why people have this opinion. I don’t know the “running community,” but I know a few guys that are 2:28-2:34 guys that I’m pretty sure the “running community” doesn’t know. If a guy was a quiet non-scorer at a good D1 school, got a full-time job and adult life, but took up marathon training fairly seriously, they could certainly be like this guy and be unknown. I’m sure some people local to them would know about the and be pretty impressed, but if that’s not a densely populated area, they wouldn’t be well known by any means.

You are dishonest.. Up to 85 kids in our high school have tested positive. Only 3 had symptoms. None worse than a cold. No healthy young person has died yet.

The "big deal" are privacy concerns, family wishes, sensitivity, etc. You can believe what you want. This unfortunate event did occur. I don't know if the local "running community" knew about this or discussed this. I hope they did although I have to ask my son about that.

Keep lying.

I don't believe you. But it does not matter. The CDC tells us that you are 12 times more likely to die if you have underlying conditions. Healthy young people have less chance of dying from this than from falling down their stairs.

You can be as suspicious as you want about this case but unfortunately it did happen. Just be careful out there. This virus is nasty.

As a conservative Republican I was initially against the measures that resulted in state lockdowns, etc. that ravaged the economy. This case has made me reassess my views. And what also scares me are the reports of damage to lungs and heart after recovery from most of the symptoms.

More than 2.3 million people are injured or killed in the US each year in automobile accidents. Most are healthy young people. No healthy young people due from Covid.

I haven't heard of anyone dying from a covid19 virus.

Privacy? He is dead?

Sensitivity? The media would be blaring this had it happened. Where was Herman Cain's privacy?

And the family would be extremely selfish to not let the word out that an ordinarily fit and healthy marathoner died from it.

Except that there’s no family, no death, no person who ran a 2:31 marathon, and no son (Tall lying Texan said it was his son’s running buddy. )
