time 8,599 Posted June 10, 2021 Nicholas Synnott, the BA pilot who spent over 8 months in hospital with covid-19, has died aged 60, six months after being discharged from hospital. His death hasn't been attributed to covid (yet) but it certainly didn't do him any good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His death hasn't been attributed to covid (yet) but it certainly didn't do him any good. He died on a flight. Makes me wonder if the different air pressure is to blame. Severe COVID seems to attack the inner organs, and makes them vulnerable to, I don't know, tissue being torn apart or something. Those long-COVID-people, like Derek Draper, who "cannot really move", they are permanently damaged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And several other infections, for example, in his lung. Still, he's "stable". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hadn't seen that, but presumably he flew back from Houston when he was discharged, so it sounds as if his condition deteriorated further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
