He was high risk and ended up in the ICU. LOL about him ending up in the ICU being a sign of an uncomplicated case. Nice try.

He was discharged after a week, in supposedly good health.
"Patients with risk factors for severe illness (see People Who Are at Higher Risk for Severe Illness) should be monitored closely given the possible risk of progression to severe illness, especially in the second week after symptom onset. . . The median length of hospitalization among survivors was 10 to 13 days."
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...-patients.html

He was in for a considerably shorter time period. It's also rather unusual to be discharged straight from the ICU, so I think we're missing some details here.

Spending a week in the ICU is not a sign of an uncomplicated case.

I know six people who had covid and none of them were hospitalized. One had two high risk factors, obesity and asthma. That would be what Most logical people would consider to be uncomplicated cases. A week long stay in the ICU is not a sign of a mild or uncomplicated case of Covid.

There’s something to be said for people who can admit when they are wrong.

He's alive? I thought those with morbid obesity were supposed to all die.



There's a massive lawsuit starting in Germany about the fraud perpetuated in the Covid sham. Looking forward to the revelation of false stats, and info on how a leaked "panic paper" was discovered to orchestrate panic worldwide, which even suggested that kids should be made to feel responsible for their parents' and grandparents' Covid infections if they don't "follow the rules."

I’m sure you’re being facetious but obesity and asthma are two factors that make him high risk.

This isn't always the case. They are at high risk to have poor outcomes and death, but it isn't guaranteed. The long-term effects are just as worrisome. And if they were to get re-infected, it could be very bad.

No Asthma has been PROVEN not to be a factor for covid.

I suspect strongly obesity alone is not, but that it is diabetes or insulin resistance that is the real danger symptom.

Sad he got that sick, happy he got better and has come to his senses.
Chris Christie is also big as a house. Had he been at a normal weight I suspect he'd have fared better.
