human beings around them that would not die of the flu but may die of Covid-19. These include healthy immunocompetent people in their 50's and 60's and mildly obese men in their 30's. During my 11-day ICU stay, there were several deaths around me, many of whom were previously healthy, some far too young. Over 2 months we have 80 deaths and there are currently 11 people on vents, not all elderly with comorbidities. I want football as much as anyone. Covid-19 is far more unpredictable than the "flu". We have to be careful. It is not crazy to think that a handful of college athletes may die from this disease. Recovery is another topic by itself. There are a large number (do not have the number though) of otherwise healthy patients recovering from covid-19 who may never work again or who are 6-9 months away (not 6-9 days) from returning.
