This will probably be used to end football....even though his team didn’t play.

Very sad. Dying from anything at 17 is a tragedy.
That school had stopped football back in in July.
Still tragic, but he wasn't 17, that was the year he graduated, he was 20. I couldn't tell from the tweet, but the school he played for was California University of Pennsylvania, a Division 2 school.
The number of deaths directly related to COVID are astronomically overstated and the reason is $$$$ - hospitals get paid more if they can tie a death to the virus.
For example, I have a family member who recently lost her aunt to cancer. The aunt, although obviously battling cancer and dying from it, was tested FOUR times in the last 72 hours of her life because they wanted to try and get a positive COVID test before she passed. It's disgusting, misleading, and just plain wrong.

not only that, I don’t believe they are even on campus this year.
Ive seen many places blasting football though.
almost all diseases or injuries have worse outcomes if the patient has significant underlying health issues
if a police officer gets tragically shot people aren't demanding to know more about his/her health history in order to opine if their outcome might have been better if they were just a bit healthier at baseline
If only the cop's heart was stronger, he would have survived that headshot
yes - outcomes of GSW to the head/chest/abd etc are better if you are without significant underlying cardiac, pulmonary, kidney disease etc
the acute neurohormonal effects of a traumatic brain injury on the cardiovascular system are tremendous and often deleterious
same goes with motor vehicle accidents etc
if you are in poor health at the time of an acute insult outcomes are worse - comordities alter outcomes in all conditions

Do gunshots have 99.98% chance of survival?
If they had continued football, his life choices may have been different and maybe he does not get it and is still alive.....
No traumatic injuries to either person... a 55 year old with obesity, coronary artery disease, diabetes and renal failure requiring dialysis or a 55 yr old who is healthy.
Which one is more likely to die next week?
We lose around 12-15 football players a year for random reasons. If this player hadn't got Covid maybe he would have died from an undiagnosed heart issue or other illness. One death is not justification that football directly contributes to the risk of dying from Covid. Now if we start seeing a ton more all of the sudden then there is a case.
For someone allegedly so educated you post some thing things that challenge that notion.
A guy posts inane straw man arguments on a message board. How long can he survive?
Doesn't prove they're not over counted...
Interested to see how this comes in the rest of the year.
you were the guy who was petitioning for more info on a 20 yo who just passed away
we don't seem to be so inquisitive in other situations
a person is only fatally shot if they die
some traumas are going to be universally fatal
for those that survive the initial resuscitation and make it to the ICU - underlying health conditions play a large role in subsequent survival and long term health challenges
not sure why some find this to be so complicated
So did someone actually try to use this young man's death as a reason to cancel Big Ten football, swing an election, and destroy the American way of life and everything we hold dear?
Or did a high school just post a nice obituary for a recent graduate who happened to play football?

I get what you’re saying. I agree everyone should be as healthy as possible. Obesity costs this country tens of billions annually, not to mention the limits it puts on people’s quality of life.
Thanks for the info, and for the reminder of why I avoid Twitter as much as humanly possible.
It's always best to live by the old adage: "Don't believe all of what you read and only half of what you see."
The problem now is all the people that read the original post are running all over spreading the word...
I seen the updated version on facebook and the original on here..
The problem is most don’t delete the original story, just add another portion later. So the headline remains, but no one reads the boring correction.
If his life took such a downward turn because he didn't have football for 2 months, then he was going to be in a world of hurt very soon, as it is highly unlikely that he has football beyond college if he is at a Division II school.
In other words, blaming a football shutdown for life choices is a crap excuse.
Wow you completely missed PC’s point. Had he been a part of a structured
football program (practice, weight, film etc), he may of not been out doing activities that led to him being infected.
Why is there any assumption he or anyone else for that matter was careless and doing something that led them to become infected?
r. Stephens’ death was initially believed to be from COVID-19 complications, according to a Facebook post Tuesday from Central Catholic. But on Wednesday, the school said it “mistakenly attributed his death without official confirmation on cause” and apologized for the error.

Obituary: Jamain ‘Juice’ Stephens was a larger-than-life personality
Stephens was a Central Catholic graduate and senior football player at California University of Pennsylvania.

Because we have been told that if we social distance and wear a mask we won't get the covid. Anything else is careless
The 2 key words in your response is we
too many freedom fighters out there that are only concerned with the me rather than the we
Yup.. Pelosi and Kevin Warren.
