Well that may be it since he said he'd step aside for a medical condition.
But since COVID isn't all that threatening in most cases I doubt he'll consider that a condition.
I don't know man.
I had COVID like 7 months ago, and that headache was so god damn bad, I thought my head was gonna explode.
Imagine the worst tension headache you've ever had in your life and it won't go away even with a thousand milligrams of Tylenol. I couldn't imagine going through that at eighty one years old
This was the most memorable thing about covid for me besides the fatigue. I rarely get headaches but it gave me the worst headache of my life for a solid week.
Right? Same with me. I rarely get them too.
I was tired as fuck and you can't sleep because the headache is like a vice crushing your head.
Really? I had COVID three times but no major headaches. I wasn't feeling well for 2-3 days, but otherwise it was pretty mild.
Except, the first two cases were then both followed by about 4 months of total depression. That sucked. Just based on that experience I'm still pretty terrified of COVID, though thankfully the third time I didn't have that.
It affects different people in different ways.
I had zero headache, a runny nose (but only my right nostril), was a bit fatigued, and thirsty like a man in the desert for a 1,000 days. These lasted 3 days, the mild fatigue about a week.
Hell of a birthday week that was!
Plus the fatigue was horrible and lasted for weeks.
This seems like coincidental timing to me. He would definitely have something more severe than just COVID.
I don't know, especially considering the effects of COVID on older folks and long COVID, he may be willing to use this as his step-down excuse.
Yeah, can we get someone in there to diagnose some long COVID while he's still in the acute phase?
True.
In the case of an 81yo with one of the most stressful jobs in the world, though? You bet your ass it is!
