Glad he is doing better. We have a maintenance guy with heart issues and diabetes thats struggled to recover completely.
Locally we had a perfectly healthy 24 year old teacher's aid die from Influenza B in January and her brother also in his 20's spent 3 weeks in ICU at KU med for it.
There are extreme examples of every illness it doesn't change the fact that the vast vast majority of people do not end up in these post severe scenarios and we know at this point that number as to be < 1% looking at the known cases vs unknown asymptomatic cases.
