LSU's Travez Moore shares coronavirus warning after personal experience

By Zac Wassink | Last updated Aug 4, 2020 2:28 PM ET

LSU linebacker Travez Moore took to Twitter to offer a warning to peers and others who may not be taking the coronavirus seriously during preparations for the 10-game, conference-only SEC football season.

The senior tweeted about his experience with the virus on Tuesday.

Bro coronavirus is real .. i was 256 now I’m 229 because i lost my appetite and it’s hard to eat plus you can barley breath. You can’t smell food you can’t taste food or taste any liquids.. stay y’all ass in the house https://t.co/kYERGuW38M

Moore also hit out at a user seemingly more concerned about the upcoming football campaign than the player's health.

Bro you obviously selfish person

Reports surfaced on June 20 that "30 or more" LSU players were placed in quarantine after some were exposed to infected individuals. Not all of those players necessarily returned positive coronavirus tests.

Over the weekend, LSU linebacker Soni Fonua criticized the protective face mask added to player helmets to help prevent the spread of the virus and other germs.
