The last time we saw a major pandemic and US authorities failed to take early action, this man was among the early victims.
This is Frederick Trump. He died in May of 1918 of the Spanish Flu. Perhaps his grandson could have learned a lesson from hearing this story growing up.

@bowdyfeed @FLOCOM79 @illy_mays @nytimes Again, not saying no one will play. They take risks for $$. Just make sure players have ALL the info about risks, not just “concussions=bad”

[Samuel C Mindes, PhD @SCMindes]

@bowdyfeed @illy_mays @nytimes The NFL is doing better with this now anyway. Not sure Borland has much of a case. That’s why I replied to @illy_mays tweet about the risks.

[Samuel C Mindes, PhD @SCMindes]

@bowdyfeed @illy_mays @nytimes And of course they’ll play knowing the risks. We’re talking millions of $$. But maybe some will retire earlier or make different decisions.

[Samuel C Mindes, PhD @SCMindes]

@bowdyfeed @illy_mays @nytimes My argument was in favor of giving players as much information as we have. Not sure how you can argue against that.

[Samuel C Mindes, PhD @SCMindes]

@bowdyfeed @illy_mays @nytimes Players know concussions are bad. They know they lead to CTE. Do they know the frequency matters? The length of symptoms matters?

[Samuel C Mindes, PhD @SCMindes]

@bowdyfeed @illy_mays @nytimes Yea… lots of players play knowing risks of CTE. Never said that wasn’t true. Are you saying every player knows HOW concussions cause CTE?

[Samuel C Mindes, PhD @SCMindes]

@bowdyfeed @illy_mays @nytimes In 52 years, they’ll all be around. But let’s hope there’s less CTE because players protect themselves, are protected, and take fewer risks.
