Seriously though, These athletes who want to go ahead and get it before the season are willing to put themselves in grave danger so that they don't get it during the season. That's a questionable move to me. COVID does lung damage and you can get it more than once. That is not the way I think. I've been in lock down for months. The rugby teams are practicing again....not me! I guess I'm getting too old for this ****!

Or you should say that COVID could cause lung damage. It has been tied to severe cases, but as of yesterday there is no evidence that it can be a result of asymptomatic or mild cases. And also, as of another article I read yesterday, there is no evidence that a person can get the virus more than once. It may be some time before that can be denied or confirmed.

Most players appear to not be very concerned about their own welfare and unless one or more of the discovered cases is somewhat serious I would expect that their concerns will become even less so. But to date none of the cases found in any of the athletes from any sport has been significant. At least none have been reported as such to my knowledge.
