Making kids play sports in masks is silly and shameful. These are the images that will define the lunacy of this time in history.

If outdoors, I agree.

In fact, interesting how many folks I saw this past Saturday (Lexington & Arlington), out & about due to the record high temps, but wearing masks outside.

Yet another study finding serious, long-term morbidity associated with Covid-19 infection. "In an analysis of more than 11 million U.S. veterans’ health records, researchers found the risk of 20 different heart and vessel maladies was substantially increased in veterans who had COVID-19 1 year earlier, compared with those who didn’t. The risk rose with severity of initial disease and extended to every outcome the team examined, including heart attacks, arrhythmias, strokes, cardiac arrest, and more. Even people who never went to the hospital had more cardiovascular disease than those who were never infected."

The increase in risk also happened regardless of pre-existing conditions.

It’s pre-vaccination data. Tough to guess how being vaccinated and boosted impacts the risk of significant heart damage.

So the usual low cognitive function lack of understanding of numerators and denominators? We’ve vaccinated 54% of age 12-17. There is a staggeringly huge amount of safety data.

I'm sure that is very comforting to their families.

We’re approaching a million COVID-19 deaths. Talk about trite comments. Unbelievable.
