Here is for hoping for a speedy recovery.
Team says he is doing well. Self isolating in good spirits and resting.
Wanted to go public with it so others may take it more serious.
I had a cousin who tested positive and he recovered very well.
I forgot he had asthma. Not to mention he smoked weed and is black, which have all been shown to be more deadly with the disease.
Hope he gets treatment that works.
I have yet to see anything but statistics linking race with Covid-19. Black people suffer disproportionately from heart disease and obesity, and are more prone to smoke, but these are societal or life-choice matters, not genetics. They are also more concentrated in crowded urban areas where social distancing is more difficult.
A much more useful thing to know is why does it seem to pass some people by lightly and others with a death blow. I think that would correlate to the amount of exposure to the virus being critical in how serious the resulting illness. The other possibility would be there is a genetic code some people have that repeals the virus, but a genetic code missing in those with the most serious ramifications.
