The long-term effects of coronavirus are one of the main points that led the Big Ten to announce the postponement of the fall 2020 sports season, adding school football.
According to Nicole Auerbach of The Athletic, the convention is aware of at least 10 players with rare central myocarditis, which is said to have a higher prevalence in others who have had COVID-19.
This is an “alarming number” of the uncommon disease caused by viruses and has led university athletic decision makers to reconsider their views, according to Auerbach.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez will be out of MLB season for myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart, which occurred after contracting the coronavirus.
Indiana offensive lineman Brady Feeney was sent to the emergency room with respiratory disorders after testing positive for COVID-19.
Although the threat of hospitalization and death is lower for 18- to 29-year-olds who contract coronavirus to the elderly, there are still negative consequences from the virus that has resulted in more than 160,000 deaths in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease. Control and Prevention.
Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren declared the dangers in Tuesday’s announcement:
“The physical and intellectual fitness and well-being of our student-athletes has been at the heart of all the decisions we have made about the ability to move forward. Over time and after hours of discussion with our Big Ten Working Group on Emerging Disease Infections and the Big Ten Sports Medicine Committee, it has become very transparent that there is too much uncertainty about the potential medical dangers to allow our student-athletes to compete this fall.”
The Pac-12 also postponed its season, bringing with it some considerations from the Pac-12 Medical Advisory Committee that come with “possible serious effects on the heart aspect of elite athletes.”
