Basically did he have myocarditis or not.
Nothing is going to be 100% most likely.
But if he had an undetected congenital issue likely not covid. Myocarditis much more likely covid. If so was he screened adequately after a positive test.
Myocarditis is an absurdly tricky thing to diagnose. No one does the gold standard test (a biopsy of heart tissue) because it’s insanely invasive and rarely adds clinical value. The secondary markers used to see if someone has myocarditis (things like ultrasounds of the heart, troponin (a protein that is released into the blood), ekgs, etc) are all going to be confounded by what sounds like a cardiac arrest.
It won’t be cut and dry.

I’m confused, is that a MAGA idiot? Or is that liberal idiot? Or is it a perfect parody?

Not disagreeing. I’m assuming by the silence they can’t rule it out.
I’m really surprised some of these big (fat) linemen haven’t had problems. Gotta be some high sugar numbers going on.
The former Florida state hoops player that died in Europe I think they were able to confirm it was most likely covid related. Getting the tissue sample ain’t so invasive when the person is dead.

So elevated troponin is possibly indicative, but not conclusive?
Yeah an elevated troponin just indicates damage to heart tissue. Since it sounds like he had a cardiac arrest, that can damage the heart tissue all on its own. Lots of stuff can cause damage to the heart.
Yeah it freaks me out a little that running a marathon seems to damage the heart to some degree.
While I’m not a fan of the Bellagio hoodies/backpack crowd, most poker pros I know are solid people. The businessmen feeding the games are not good people. Its not even close which is worse for society.
I posted in the other thread yesterday, but I’ve played poker with Nygard. Every poker pro combined hasn’t been as bad for society as that one billionaire.
Its not the poker player 99/100 that is crushing the guy or gal that now can’t make rent. It is the casino and that person is playing penny slots.
I was an online pro for 3 years. I’d say it’s neutral or slight negative to society. It’s way better than my first real programming job where we supported the auto and tobacco industry in lawsuits.
But seriously - anyone who thinks poker pro adds to society is deluding themselves. Best case scenario you’re a dog hanging around outskirts of town, scrounging for scraps people were going to throw out anyway.

About 5 days or so after the bar visit?
Good luck to both of you here that just tested positive; hope you get an easy case

I’m not saying the job adds, but everyone here is bigger than their profession. They do so much in their lives beyond when they clock in or sit at a poker table or whatever. The poker pros I know are much more consumed with being good people than my other friend/social groups.
I dont know why you and others have this stereotyped view of a grungy poker game where the pros are taking peoples rent money. Idk about the game Cuse is playing in, but my home games had mid five figures on the table, 5 course meals, top shelf alcohol and everyone in these games can afford to lose 10k that night. 1/2 is where you get the sad vibes and people. Pros aren’t at those stakes.
You should just try to be a good person with how you interact with people and the world. If you’re a doctor donating to DJT and posting about Qanon online, id take the poker player over them.

I don’t think a job necessarily needs to add to society. I mean if that was a serious requirement a majority would fail, I think.

Value to society based on your job is weaksauce. Be a good person that other people enjoy hanging around with and do your own thing.
