This isn’t worded coherently enough for me to offer a response. Is this a question or a critique? If it’s a question, what’s the question? If it’s a critique, be more concise.
Sorry to confuse.
Your comment in part: "What’s going to be the ramifications if a college athlete passes away due to covid complications he/she contracted while playing or practicing? "
My question:" So are you saying that since covid - 19 it has yet to be transmitted between competing Division 1 athletes AND caused the recipient to die?"
Maybe badly worded. I have not been following how many deaths of Div 1 athletes have occurred due to covid-19 passed to them during intercollegiate sports activity; was amazed to find out the next one will be the 1st. Wanted you to confirm.
My critique (your description, not mine): "I can't believe this is true, athletes compete without face masks and often violate the social distancing norms; testing is not always accurate so many infected players must be competing. How can all these young, healthy, 20 year old's without co-morbidities avoid deadly consequences. Maybe the CDC should look into this for insights as to who is vulnerable to covid-19's deadly effects."
I'll try again: Holy cow (assuming you confirm no deaths), all this activity to avoid zero deaths amongst Div 1 athletes; maybe healthy 20 year old's are very unlikely to get very sick and die from covid-19 and someone should tell the CDC (I'll contact them if you confirm, is it all right if I use your name as the source for this zero death information?) so they can focus their efforts on protecting the more vulnerable. Can't be very mentally healthy for these college athletes (or anyone that age) living kind of in a bubble (see number 2 cause of death below).
Best I can do, if you still can't understand it's on me.
Just some perspective on how 20-24 year old's die from the CDC, latest year is 2015:
Total % Per 100k
All races, both sexes, 20-24 years
... All causes 20,308 100.0 89.3
1 Accidents (unintentional injuries) 8,595 42.3 37.8
2 Intentional self-harm (suicide) 3,430 16.9 15.1
3 Assault (homicide) 3,146 15.5 13.8
4 Malignant neoplasms 886 4.4 3.9
5 Diseases of heart 691 3.4 3.0
6 Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities 191 0.9 0.8
7 Diabetes mellitus 144 0.7 0.6
8 Chronic lower respiratory diseases 139 0.7 0.6
9 Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium 120 0.6 0.5
10 Influenza and pneumonia 112 0.6 0.5
11 Cerebrovascular diseases 105 0.5 0.5
12 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease 96 0.5 0.4
13 Septicemia 91 0.4 0.4
14 Legal intervention 61 0.3 0.3
15 Anemias 57 0.3 0.3
... All other causes (residual) 2,444 12.0 10.7
Maybe more effort on the top 3 causes would be more fruitful in saving lives. Unintentional is probably a lot of car accidents and drug/alcohol related, something that can and should be reduced. Influenza and pneumonia was pretty low, young kids have few co-morbidities (especially athletes).
