I don’t know anything about his medical history, only what was written in the newspapers. Usually, that kind of stuff is mentioned in newspapers and in the media. There’s no shortage of it nowadays. But if you say that’s what happened I’ll take your word for it I guess. I’m just surprised that this is mentioned nowhere else for someone that is prominent.
But why are you discussing a friends medical history on a public message board? Is it that important to you that you reveal private personal medical details about one of your friends. Did you get permission to discuss his medical history?
There’s something wrong with you.
Come on, gentlemen, let's all settle down and aim for the middle of the road on this issue.
I understand both sides. Some people see a death that is attributed to Covid, then they find out that the person was in a car accident, and the next thing we know, it's all a gigantic government conspiracy to fake the pandemic statistics. Regardless of whether the person in the car accident had Covid and was driving to the hospital and suddenly struggled to breathe, thus wrecking his car.
I've said this in other threads, the issue of Covid leading to death, either directly or indirectly, has become far too politicized. That is not an indictment of either dsdd or OCCC. It's just a reflection of how these discussions go off track.
The initial statement by dsdd was very general. Covid led to Carlos Joseph's death. I understood that basic statement, and did not inquire further. I knew the press reports said "brain aneurysm", but I also know that dsdd is friends with a bunch of former players, so I did not ask questions.
And, in a fair question (even if the presentation of the question led dsdd to fire off a response), the issue was raised because of the conflict between the media reports and the statements made on this board.
So, in all fairness, dsdd provided additional details to establish and prove his actual knowledge of the situation was far more comprehensive than the media reports.
My prayers go out to Carlos Joseph and his family. No matter what, his premature death is tragic and sad, and it is made worse by the circumstances of Covid, because it seems like he contracted Covid in the early days of the pandemic, when we ALL were operating on incomplete and/or misleading medical advice.
I wouldn't wish Covid on my worst enemy. I pray for the day when all of this is over. Maybe this is, or is not, the worst crisis the world has ever faced, but I'm also not going to pretend that it isn't serious and having a huge impact on us all. It's not a hoax. It will take time, but just as the CDC revised the numbers after H1N1/swine flu, I think we will eventually come to realize that Covid has claimed more lives than we currently believe.
God bless. And Go Canes!
