OT: Are You Concerned About The Zika Virus

[Choctaw_fan]

We are heading into summer football camps, 7 on 7 competitions, and summer conditioning. Are you concerned about the football players being outside so much? Does the Zika virus concern you more than heat exhaustion, staph, or any other infections football players can get? What about competing in other sports like summer baseball or softball (not school sponsored)?

We still don't know much about the Zika virus. If a teen suffers through it, will there be life long effects?

You have to wonder if it is worth the risk!

My son and daughter in law were a little worried heading to the islands for the wedding because they want kids soon.

But, what's the alternative; shut it all down? Young athletes are usually very healthy with pretty resistant immune systems, its whay that age kid goes off to fight wars.

In the 80s, there was a case of aids in Belle Glade that was spread to an elderly reclusive woman by what researchers said had to be a mosquito. Mosquito born illnesses have been around since the beginning of time.

You play. Eat lot's of garlic and carry some dryer sheets in your pocket.

In the 90's we had to go to 4:00 pm start times due to an encephalitis outbreak.
