No other contributing factors or underlying conditions?
Wear a mask.
Keep at least 6 feet apart.
Stay away from gatherings.
This disease will kill you.
If you are over sixty and get this, you have a 33% chance of ending up in intensive care. A fair percentage of you will then die.
So he had no comorbidity? Or are they choosing not to report it?
“No other contributing factors or underlying conditions?”
__________________________________
I don’t recall reading of any underlying issues with his health.
It’s truly saddening.
Nothing else was listed.
95 days with this virus.
Don’t know - this came from CNN originally.
Not again with this crap
I never heard of him or his wife. But a few months ago, his wife said he had been misdiagnosed and the doctors bungled it. Not sure what really happened.
The guy got COVID way back in late March.
I believe things have changed since.
They tested him 3 times and got a negative reading on the first 2.
Whatever happened - this is the worst case I have heard about - with an amputation involved.
For the general population the starts overwhelmingly say otherwise.
However, I do agree that the same stats merit more aggressive precautions with age starting around age 60.
41 years old.
We need the whole story.
He reportedly had no underlying conditions.
No. Stop telling others what to do. Mind your own business.
I believe now that going on a vent is not the best choice....sounds like docs are letting people lanquish with low oxygen as long as they can...being on a vent has a lot of issues in and of itself...
This thing just hits some people harder than it does others, reminds of how it just about took out this “Ironman” competitor a few months back:

More from a different article about this:
Kloots revealed on March 31 that her husband was in intensive care and having a hard time breathing after being diagnosed with pneumonia. Days later, the fitness trainer revealed that her husband was in stable condition, but that doctors were still confirming the cause of his health crisis. Two negative COVID tests. Doctors are convinced though that it is COVID so they did a third test, she wrote, adding that her husband was responding well to the medication for COVID.
His third test came back positive for coronavirus.
Although Cordero fell ill in early March, his symptoms were initially intermittent and didnt seem to align with those frequently associated with COVID-19. He could not get out of bed, so tired, no energy, that was really his only symptom, she told BuzzFeed News at the time.
So will getting out of bed in the morning.
You have a .6% chance of dying of the Wuhan-400. That is pretty much the same chance you have of dying of the flu.
You have a slightly higher chance of dying in a car crash. Yet people get into their cars every day and blithely drive.
You can live in a bubble if you like. The rest of us will live like normal people.
