College football players give us a glimpse at the long-term health effects of COVID-19.

On today’s show, we’re looking at the long tail of COVID-19 and the effects it will have on our health and the health care industry long after we get a vaccine. Plus, we read your many, many emails about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Here’s a list of everything we talked about today:

“PSU football doctor: 30-35 percent of COVID-19-positive Big Ten athletes had myocarditis” from the Centre Daily Times
“California lawmaker brings newborn to Assembly floor after being denied proxy vote” from Politico
“We Can Eliminate Covid-19 if We Want To” by Andy Slavitt
Another MCU watch-order guide, from Collider

None of us is as smart as all of us.
