Covid-19 can make an elite fall to AVERAGE

Similar acute bio-markers for heart damage (elevated troponin) can be found during and after marathon running.

This is a big red herring that guys like Precious Roy will use as a reason to massacre the economy.

Are they as contagious and widespread as covid?

Yes. Let's tally the number of college athletes who get mono, low iron, lyme disease, pneumonia, influenza, or a dozen different running injuries compared to the number with a debilitating case of covid - so far, roughly zero? We're 7 months and 10 million cases into this pandemic and the fear of a young healthy athlete having their season ruined by covid is still completely hypothetical.

There is no way around it. Either you get COVID or you get the vaccine at some point (or you become an agoraphobic and never leave the house again). If this is tied to a person’s immune response to the virus, there will be similar responses with a vaccine (we already know the vaccine causes headaches and fevers). They also found with early attempts at a SARS vaccine that test subjects had an elevated immune response when they encountered the actual virus. So you may be worse off with the vaccine than getting it naturally.

It is funny how the people who want to shut down the economy, can't see that the constant claim that the virus is so deadly and contagious only makes the case that we all need to just live our lives because we are going to get it in the next year regardless.

I'm pretty sure Precious Roy is not in charge of whether or not we have shut downs.

Currently we have a Republican President (that I voted for in '16 by the way) who agrees with the people on this thread that we should reopen and let nature take its course. Why, then, is our economy only at 78% of its early March levels?

Do you think maybe, just maybe, many people don't want to catch the virus? What do you suggest? A law that makes people return to their February routines? Replace the 300,000 dead with immigrants with equal purchasing power?

You must have your very own definition of a widespread very contagious disease, carry on

I'm with Hardloper on this one. I don't really care if I get covid19 or not.

If you're going to play scientist by making scientific claims, f*cking cite evidence for those claims. Otherwise shut up, because your *opinion* isn't valid.

If you are a serious competitive runner, you are going to do your best to not get Covid. If you've fine tuned your nutrition, recovery, training, etc, you are not about to throw it all away by taking a pointless risk like going to a giant party with no mask on. You've sacrificed so much to run well and you aren't about to throw that all away.

Many people on this board don't care about nutrition and recovery. They think that's for wussies. Their motto is "train hard, and party hard." They think that attitude makes them look more masculine.

If a vaccine becomes available next year, I want to avoid catching Covid until I get a vaccine. I don't have to stay at home 24/7 to avoid the most obvious risk.

You seem very angry. Seek professional help.

Some_Local wasn't challenging the scientific validity of COVID causing lung scarring. He was asking for data that might shed light on the % of cases with scarring, to see if it's something to be concerned with. If you had actually read this entire thread, you would have seen several citations on page 2.

You can also ask a doctor these questions. I highly recommend that.

This was exactly the attitude of our D1 cross country team in the 1990s.

We have known about the existence of this virus for roughly 8 months.

How can anyone state with any degree of certainty that there are long-term issues?

Please stop with the feat mongering.

There is one problem. We can now the EXACT long term effects in some cases. For example, if the Coronavirus causes damage to cells in the heart, it will not recover as, heart cells don’t replenish. This is why there’s no such thing as heart cancer.

New research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that many people who recover from the virus have heart inflammation (myocarditis). Of 100 survivors in the study, 78 had evidence of previous heart inflammation, and 60 showed ongoing inflammation at the time of observation.

So now all you people have the numbers you demanded.
