    Terrible headline and terrible pseudo journalism in general. No surprise given its source, Bleacher Report, which, in turn, cites only the speculation from a radio station.
    It may all be true. He may have myocarditis and it may be the result of the Trumpandemic. But this is the sort of garbage journalism you get from outlets like Bleacher Report. If they and WEEI are right, they're lucky.
    From the WEEI story: "According to a source, Rodriguez is dealing with a condition involving his heart.

    "There seems to be a strong possibility the specific affliction is called "myocarditis" which involves the inflammation of the heart muscle. Myocarditis is a situation that is often brought on by a viral infection and can affect your heart muscle and your heart's electrical system, reducing your heart's ability to pump and causing rapid or abnormal heart rhythms."

    OK, doc.

    Tonight is the second night of a music festival here. Isbell has played it. Gov’t Mule too. Kind of a big deal. This year, they scrambled to get acts and I expected it to be canceled - especially as Arkansas became a C19 hotspot.

    Instead, the organizers booked some mid-tier red dirt acts and said masks were required. They painted 6x6 squares on the lawn so “family groups” could socially distance from others.

    Friends, that is not happening. Photos show it is business as usual down on the river.

    The kicker is a college student posted this afternoon she got her C19 test back from Wednesday and she was positive. Several of her friends - who met her at last night’s concert began ripping her - for going out without knowing her results. She nuked her social media - but not before screenshots were taken.

    So it will be interesting to see if a spike occurs from this. Also, since hotels downtown are packed, this may have ramifications outside the Arklahoma region.

    The markings are literally all for show, I suspect. If they sold as many tickets as normal, they had no intention of helping to mitigate the Trumpandemic. You know, learn to live with it, as the lord and savior hath said.

    Once she's laid off in the impending economic doom, she'll have to go begging to someone and will end up like this.

    And the only way you are going to densely populate the members of a rural county is to send them school, church or to a sporting event.

    A few counties will figure this out the hard way.

    He can apologize to himself when he apologizes to the rest of Florida for trying to kill them all.

    When do Floridians get an apology from Rich Lowry?
