"OF" coronavirus.
I'm always somewhat hesitant to view/word things exactly like that.

Most deaths are sickly people that already have a lot of health problems that are not doing well and this illness is just the straw that broke the camels back and pushes them over the edge.

Very few of these deaths are fully fit and healthy people that corona just single handedly slays.

Regardless, I liked him in this film.

But there are enough deaths to warrant the attention. One of my girlfriend's husband died of corona. He was 44 and in good health. Just hit him hard, then he was on a ventilator, then his organs shut donw. About a year ago today in fact.

The ventilator killed him. If they gave him remdesivir, then that was probably a contributing factor as it is known to severely damage the kidneys.

No, the ventilator did not kill him - it kept him alive almost a week. He also died in the spring of 2020 when there were no anti-virals indicated for Covid.

Any hopes of survival were scuppered when they intubated.

Had it coming. Should have sniffed some of that coke water.

I think he was the first major celebrity to die due to it.
