So sad. This poor chap went through it. RIP.
Not to dismiss his death which is horribly tragic, it’s not that helpful to say ‘yet people still think this is flu & only kills the elderly’ .. flu kills too. And it kills the young sometimes. In fact common colds can kill. If they develop into something else. A young boy in the village I live almost died & lost limbs from sepsis that stemmed from a minor ear infection. It’s really shocked our local community. Unfortunately, it’s down to complete chance. And it’s the same with Covid. A huge majority who have died are elderly &/or have underlying conditions. But really really sadly, some young & healthy people will go on to develop complications that mean they don’t survive.
I do have a lot of hope in how much we now understand Covid, especially in terms of clotting & that ventilators aren’t always that helpful. It seems we are saving a lot more lives now & doctors say they are much more hopeful & prepared for the serious cases these days. Unfortunately for Nick & Kate’s husband, they were early, very serious cases and we just weren’t sure how to treat it..
