While not in the military, E-Rod, Eduardo Rodriguez, 27-year old Red Sox pitcher from Venezualia has been shut down for the season. Due to an inflammation of his heart, caused by coronavirus, is persistent and past the point where the Red Sox want to get him ready to pitch this season.

"Obviously, this is unfortunate news for a Red Sox team that currently has one of the worst pitching staffs in the major leagues. But with Rodriquez's heart issue persisting, shutting him down for the 60-game campaign is the decision that needed to be made."

The human physiology is almost always good-to-go for fixing itself, and getting healthy, but sometimes needs some extra help from trained medical care people. Like, how much does it hurt, and how much pain do you have, and maybe you really need to see a doctor?
Very sad for a person in their prime, especially one so gifted. I'll be surprised if the team/league makes it through the season as currently planned. 6 Teams--20% of the league--already have COVID cases, and they've barely begun. 19 games postponed over 11 days.

Commissioner and many others obviously in denial. Kind of like Washington. Sadness.
