I bet he'd suffer more if he got the flu.

The weird thing about Covid19 it's for 99% people, milder than the common cold. It's for 1% of people, something goes haywire. And if those people are unhealthy (diabetes, old, fat) they die.

He was in the ICU because he has money and was scared. Not because he needed to be.
Denial is the greatest fear indicator.

Not denial, just observation. Seeing him today, guy looks good. If he was on a vent for 7 days, he wouldn't be doing interviews.

Vents aren’t really to go to protocol anymore. They figured out at some point that they were doing more harm then good. It’s likely he was on oxygen.

Oxygen is not sufficient during advanced stages of infection. Obviously if you get to the point of needing a vent or resp you're in trouble. But a lot of bad techniques were fixed, and ofc we're a little more cautious before we place someone on a vent or resp. It still needs to be done in advanced cases of the disease.

If he was on oxygen, it was probably just for comfort. Like Trump. Trump's oxygen levels never fell out of the normal range.

Indeed.

Serious cases get the ECMO machine which is similar to the heart-lung by-pass machine used in open- heart surgery. It pumps and oxygenates a patient's blood outside the body, thus avoiding the damage to the lungs that ventilators can cause.

Alas, ECMOs are few and far between..

Where are you located? If you get COVID and we're close enough, cough in your hand, shake my hand and give me a week. If I die, you win and get money. If I win, I don't even want money I just want the bragging rights and for you to be as tight as a fresh butt cheek in a prison yard.

I remember when this whole ventilator thing was all the controversy and people were getting SUPER upset with me when I was questioning the ventilators. Now look, they're hardly used if used much at all.

Glad he got better. Must have been a tad scary at times just wondering if he'd make it.

This is just ridiculous - he is pandering.

- Masks do NOT protect you from corona virus.
- There is no information on his diabetic status
- There is no information on his vitamin D status.
- There is no information on what he was in the ICU for. Was he dying or was it a precaution.

Anyone as obese as he is should have taken it seriously. Laughable that he pretends a small bit of cloth would have avoided it.

Besides now he is immune.

ETA, asthma is not a danger condition when it comes to covid.
