edjr 5,591 Posted April 9, 2020 So the Kung Flu has finally hit home and taken someone I have known for 30+ years.

He was definitely obese by the letter of the law, still played sports, but that doesn't mean much, even the fattest of fatties can play softball and golf. Not sure exactly what he had that killed him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted April 9, 2020 9 minutes ago, edjr said: Covid doesn't kill people necessarily, it's their pre-existing conditions that kill them. No? Ummm, in general, "No". COVID kills them, but you are more susceptible to dying if you have pre-existing conditions. For example, if you smoke or have asthma, you are more likely to die as a result. If you never contracted COVID, you would not have died at that point. Now some of the old folks that are dying in nursing homes, they may be different. There are some that are dying now that were on hospice, meaning that they were just being cared for while they died without pain. They got COVID and it just rushed things along a bit faster. You could say that COVID killed them or it was just a factor. Not sure if your buddy fits into that group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the toughest, IMO, but physical shape has little bearing on proficiency. Hitting the gym for months won't help you hit a curveball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
