Heard he was feeling fluish. Not the first time I am hearing of an athlete's fatality due to sport participation while having the flu. Really sad.

Both my boys are avid high school sportsman. As a rule, when they are unwell, they don't play or train. Full stop.

Lionel , you are correct in your advise, as i received this 2 weeks back in one of my whats group from a doctor.
URGENT NOTICE. IF YOU HAVE THE FLU. DO NOT PARTAKE IN ANY SPORTS OR PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES.
If you want trust, trust others. If you want respect, respect others. If you want love and peace in your life, give them away. If you want great friends, be one
