Sure, but he had plenty of sunshine, a private beach, all the seafood he could eat, and no boss man telling him what to do :)

I’m guessing the reporter guy who found him gave that to him and asked him to get some footage for him.

I was wondering that but since he has been discovered he does get visitors and he also goes to a nearby island to get supplies so it is conceivable that he picked up the virus from one of these two contacts. He would not build up an immunity to the various flu strains, not being in contact with too many folks.

Cerezo added his health is okay and he 'probably only had the flu' when he was found,

If he was by himself then how did he catch the flu?

Normally you can only get the flu from other humans or certain animals.

I thought that to but it does say in the article that he had human contact through visitors and periodic supply trips.

“I thought that to but it does say in the article that he had human contact through visitors and periodic supply trips.”

And how did he pay for his supplies? I got a feeling he wasn’t as independent as he’s made out to be.

Lots of green there for a “desert” island.

Even as a kid watching Gilligan I could not understand why it was called a “desert island” as opposed to “deserted Island”.

I figured the go-pro was the reporters. But in the article it says he goes to another island to buy water and rice cakes with money that his family sends him. (So not as big of a hermit as the headline says). Perhaps his family also gave him the camera to stay in touch with him.

Although after the first few weeks, I’m guessing the videos would get pretty boring.
