COVID is no joke.

Bad thing about many black people being so skeptical of the vaccine is that people think they can just wait it out until it goes away. But, it'll most likely be with us for the foreseeable future and we know reinfection is perfectly possible. You can't live like that long-term because sooner or later you're going to get fukked.

viruses don't disappear...we still got people in remote/poorer parts of the world getting the plague

the treatments just get better over time and we're able to come in contact with them and have medicine/our immune system handle much better

Sounds like he reached back and helped put alot of younger Black media members on and mentored them

Wow RIP

I could tell he had an underlying sickness when he had that rapid weight loss a couple years ago, and would take off for months while working for NBA TV

He lost that weight to get healthy, shyt wasn't due to sickness, he talked about it before.

If you tested positive for Covid and recovered sign up to donate your blood and tell them you recovered from Covid. Hospitals will use the plasma in your blood to treat people that's what saved my dads life he got the antibody cocktail.

They will pay you for it to

This one and Hank. Both were major players in Atlanta. Sekou was my favorite beat writer and he was excellent for NBATV and my personal fav.
