Message: [QUOTE="MilfordHusky, post: 4012879, member: 366"] Best wishes to you and your grandson! My granddaughter played Division III soccer in 2019 and made 1st team All-Conference as a freshman. Last September, the season was postponed. Her roommate's boyfriend had Covid symptoms and didn't tell anyone, so several people were exposed. As a result, 4 players on the women's soccer team contracted Covid. Caitie's situation was the most serious. She lost her sense of taste and smell, though they are now mostly back, 10 months later. She was very fatigued and had chest tightness, but wasn't close to being hospitalized. She had multiple chest X-rays and other tests that did not indicate any serious problem. But her cardio conditioning is very poor. In her nursing classes, her breathing capacity was by far the lowest in the class. The doc now says that Covid induced "latent adolescent asthma" in women aged 15-25 or so. Cait looks in shape, but she wheezes whenever she runs (which was a key asset in soccer). If she can be treated with therapy, an inhaler, etc., she may be able to resume soccer. I'm hoping. The important point is that there are nasty side effects of various types caused by Covid. I hope everyone can avoid the virus and certainly avoid the serious side effects. [/QUOTE]
