msc 18,537 Posted April 3, 2020 I mean, I can't find the links after a month (problem with Cup researching via Google translate, eh?), but given he has spent time in the ICU in February/March (and they seemed to think he might have coronavirus too), another 8 months is a long time to go yet. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC And I'm not really disagreeing with you, (which is why I was so shocked to see his name), but median survival is still just 3-6 months, which means that half the victims will die sooner and half later. Outliers will happen, and being a world class athlete might just make a difference there, or not. As always, time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
