virus and free agency/draft question ????

[gregorygrant83]

Curious of some others opinion. If a player available for free agency or a highly rate draft prospect were to be diagnosed with the corona virus would you keep them on your board or how much would that impact their value? A vast majority of cases will have run their course and prove to be no issue going forward by the time training camp starts, but for example would you bump Tua down on your board if he did test positive? Or is it a case of just moving forward business as usual and you don't really consider it?

I'm assuming any player we would be interested in drafting is in peak health (and would recover) and shouldn't affect a player's stock in the draft.

I DON'T KNOW how true this is but I read an article that said if you have coronavirus and recover it will drop your lung function 20 to 30%. If this is true I would not want that player since lung function is kind of important.

Great question.

Right now were all in wait and see mode.

Damn that’s a good question but I highly doubt it.

Those Who Recover From Coronavirus Can Be Left With Reduced Lung Function, Say Doctors

People who recover after being infected with the novel coronavirus can still be left with substantially weakened lung capacity, with some left gasping for air when walking quickly, doctors in Hong Kong have found.

Pretty sure this is a thing with all servere pneumonia. This has also been shot down by a few different doctors saying we won’t know truly for quite some time what the long term affects are. I’m not trying to make light of this, but it was a concern I had as well until I did more research.

I think it's key to point out the headline says those that recover can have reduced lung function not that they will have it. In other words it's a possible side effect not something that everyone will endure.

Thanks...I Just did a quick google and post. I had heard nothing about this situation prior.
