[QUOTE="alaskaillini, post: 1538614, member: 531679"] I am concerned there could be a problem with having the college basketball season before effective therapeutics or a vaccine that not many are talking about. I have read about several anecdotal indications that Covid-19 may cause lung damage to people who have had very mild cases. A significant number of the Ocean Princess passengers that tested positive but did not develop severe cases still had the ground glass showing in their lungs after they no longer tested positive. A dive doctor in the UK had a number of his divers get the coronavirus. Some had severe cases and some very mild. Based upon his exams of these patients after they recovered, he was concerned that none of them may ever dive again because of the residual lung damage even in the mild cases. I have read that the Chinese had found that some children had significant lung damage even though they were largely asymptomatic. For this reason, if I were a high level athlete, I would be concerned about getting the coronavirus, even though it is very unlikely that I would experience severe symptoms, at least until more is known.
