In the before times, a serious sports injury on national television was often a pretty big story on the news the following day.
As always our first thought is "I hope he's all right."
Now, it has become is so much more.
Our current situation has added a dimension of interest we've never seen before.
Everyone that hears about it has one immediate question, is he or isn't he?
Then comes the inevitable question, what is going to happen to me?
Whether he has been vaccinated or not isn't really the point.
It is now about the awareness. And this is the big story.
Thank you for reading.

I had to see my dentist today, probably in his late 30's;' early 40's. He asks the assistant if he saw the game last night. I saw my opening..."so, what do YOU think really happened? Do you really believe it was caused by a hit to his chest?"
He said yes. I asked him "what about all the other athletes around the world, young, healthy men who are collapsing and dying?"
He had never heard of it. I pulled up a compilation video and this link: https://airtable.com/shrbaT4x8LG8EbvVG/tbl7xKsSUIOPAa7Mx
He was STUNNED, literally mouth agape and was looking at all the cases and said "my God! They are all so young"! I left with the satisfaction that I may have planted a small seed to wake him up. Genuinely like the guy a lot. I hope it makes him question what else he isn't aware of and WHY he hasn't heard of it before.
