Spin this one, anti-science Trumpers. [/quote]

Not unique to COVID-19. Just played up to increase the anxiety. Other viruses have the same complication at higher rates.

Do people not bother to read what they're posting?  From PP's link:

"The frequency of myocardial involvement in influenza infection varies (0–10%) depending on the diagnostic criteria, and fulminant myocarditis associated with seasonal influenza infection is rare...."  That is nowhere near the 30-35% reported among college athletes (who probably represent the youngest/healthiest demographic out there) for COVID-19.[/quote]

You can't make this comparison since the athletes are not a comparable sample. While you might consider them healthier, that isn't science. [/quote]
You can hypothesis that young healthy athletes are less likely to have this complication than average people.  The next step is to check average people for the same condition.  Doesn't mean we can't view this as a general concern right now, until we get better evidence.[/quote]
