Rip to him i just wish people would stop underestimating covid. My dad a healthy 53 year old got covid on January 2 and by January 7 he couldn't get up and I took him to the hospital he spent 7 days there. 2 days later his condition was getting worse again so I drove him 2 hours to the Mayo Clinic and he spent 5 days there. They were able to treat him there and he's been at home now recovering with an oxygen tank which he will need for another 2 weeks. Blood thinners that could take up to 6 months to clear the clot in his lung.

Covid is not the flu it causes blood clots and Pneumonia which suffocate you that's what's killing people. If your body has a bad reaction to Covid which hospital you go to and which treatment you receive will determine if you live or die.

I swear this shyt is freakin me out and it’s for the reasons you outlined. I got through the worst of the symptoms but it’s that quiet stuff like the effects to your blood stream, lungs, kidney, all that other shyt that isn’t as apparent as the up front symptoms.

All of y’all be careful and responsible out here. I know it sucks and it’s annoying but it helps to take extra measures for yourself and your loved ones. Don’t be a selfish dikkhead just to harm yourself and others later on. Smh, January 26th is an ugly day for the NBA.
