However, among ones that were cardiac MRI&amp;#x27;d (don&amp;#x27;t know number or why they were MRI&amp;#x27;d) about 1&amp;#x2F;3 &amp;quot;had the level of inflammation that was determined to be myocarditis.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;...&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; One more thing: it wasn’t a “study.” It appears he got this info somewhat informally from other athletic doctors from other schools, which may explain the rough numbers.&lt;p&gt;Among other things.&lt;p&gt;So I&amp;#x27;d recommend at least changing the title, as it&amp;#x27;s not actually the case (that we know of) that 1&amp;#x2F;3 of covid-positive players have myocarditis, just 1&amp;#x2F;3 of covid-positive players who were MRIed.&lt;p&gt;Update: It doesn&amp;#x27;t seem like any other schools are actually seeing this according to reports here: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;saturdaytradition.com&amp;#x2F;big-ten-football&amp;#x2F;report-multiple-b1g-schools-say-were-not-experiencing-high-levels-of-myocarditis-among-student-athletes&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;saturdaytradition.com&amp;#x2F;big-ten-football&amp;#x2F;report-multip...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

So many people assume that it&amp;#x27;s like the flu, that you get sick and maybe you die but otherwise you go back to normal and there&amp;#x27;s been abundant evidence that this simply isn&amp;#x27;t the case. And I&amp;#x27;m just some schmuck who reads a lot. We&amp;#x27;re going to see a lot of people with long-term impacts on their health from this on top of all the dead and we &lt;i&gt;still&lt;/i&gt; have people claiming it&amp;#x27;s no big deal.</text></comment>
