It seems most reactions here are purely fandom and the missing of football. No one appears to be an immunologist. We ALL want football, but none of us were given the medical information shared late last week with the Big Ten presidents. Nearly 600 young people in the U.S., from infants to 20 year olds, have developed an inflammatory syndrome linked to Covid-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. Most of the children required intensive care. “I fear that there has been this sense that kids [and young adults] just won’t get infected or don’t get infected in the same way as adults and that, therefore, they’re almost like a bubbled population,” Michael Osterholm, an infectious diseases expert at the University of Minnesota. Being in the NBA or NHL bubble away from all others is not the same as being on campus with 20-40,000 others. And college players are also guided by their parents' desires not fans' wants and needs. And comparing pros to college kids is a false equivalency.
