What were his underlying conditions?

I mean, they keep saying most of these deaths are resulting from underlying conditions.

RIP. As highlanders, people from Nepal have good lungs. This is a surprise.

“Nembang said he knew of six or seven other members of the borough’s small Nepalese community — “most of them Uber drivers” — who had been hospitalized by COVID-19”.

Sad. Almost like people should have just kept working, because this crap is out of the bag already. Any shut downs are worthless as can be.

>>more than two weeks after he stopped driving to avoid contracting the deadly disease
>>Subba checked into the hospital about two weeks ago

he was already sick

at least he recognized it and avoided spreading it to his passengers

And nutjob Nan just keeps demanding more money.

There isn’t much on the face of the earth lower than Nan.

Based on his vaguely Oriental features, I am gonna say he’s a Gurkha.
