This is not directed to the comments above. Just FYI to anyone reading this thread, this type of myocarditis isn’t only seen in coronaviruses or specifically COVID-19. Rheumatic fever/Rheumatic carditis is well documented as a cause of molecular mimicry when dealing with Group A streptococcal bacterial respiratory tract infections. Similar things are seen with Coxsackie B virus causing pericarditis amongst other things. Other viruses have been implicated in the past. Some (in other sites) seem to think this a covid only issue.
