Trump wants Big 10 football to be played.

“When we looked at our COVID-positive athletes, whether they were symptomatic or not, 30 to roughly 35 percent of their heart muscles (were) inflamed,” Sebastianelli said. “And we really just don’t know what to do with it right now. It’s still very early in the infection. Some of that has led to the Pac-12 and the Big Ten’s decision to sort of put a hiatus on what’s happening.”

That doc didn’t quite understand the study he was reading and his since walked back his comments. No way 35% of positive athletes had that kind of heart damage.

But that said, Trump ruins everything when, ill-informed, he wades into a non political issue and makes it political. And as usual, Democrats still haven’t figured out how to run ads in the Midwest blaming Trump for losing a college football season.

But it does seem to be 15%.

"
The survey found myocarditis in close to 15 percent of athletes who had the virus, almost all of whom experienced mild or no symptoms, Daniels added, perhaps shedding more light on the uncertainties about the short- and long-term effects the virus may have on athletes."


Ohio state is sitting on that data so Dr Daniels is having this peer reviewed.

Trump and the "New Normal" he's been trying to force feed the nation is getting stuck hard in the people's throats, they are gagging and they want somebody like Biden to give'um a nice Heimlich and the relief that comes with it.

If this is what Trump thinks is a huge success at MAGA, he and his cult members should settle down somewhere safe like the Gulag where they can be as racist and as anti-climate and as religiously zealous as they like so the rest of us can help save the planet and our nation from four more years of the hate, the fear and putting up with the constant lies Trump and his party have been so incessant with.

That convention of theirs was so full of lies one has to think about why that is.
