Hopefully it was a small enough stroke that he doesn’t suffer long term damage. Also, hopefully it doesn’t send him into a spiral with his hypochondria. Absolutely wild he would have a stroke though. He is young enough, and I wouldn’t think in enough high risk categories that this is kinda wild.
I wanna say something glib like he got infected with the woke mind virus but to my knowledge he just had a severe back injury related to a motor vehicle accident in his youth.
I know studies on covid have consistently reported significantly elevated stroke risks (in addition to other cardiovascular risks) during and at least months after infections. Not necessarily related here but I’ve wondered if we’d start seeing “unexpected” strokes in young people all the time now that covid is treated just like background noise.
I’ve wondered that too, but given the cdc’s hellbent drive to remove all covid-related data from the public eye, I suspect that even if/when there is an increase of strokes in young people, it won’t get reported the way it should.
Yeah, covid can cause blood clots, and messes with the vascular system in general. There’s an increased risk of heart attack and stroke months after infection and everyone is just assuming that risk will go away the more we are infected.

I think he’s always had some health condition. I don’t remember what it was called.

ah, so less of a hereditary condition and more of a series of complications from a past incident
That’s my parasocial understanding of it.

If I remember correctly, he did have to take a week or so off not long ago for COVID.

Remember when children were getting a hepatitis epidemic following the pandemic and they treated it like a fucking mystery?

There should be a “bashing own head on wall” emoji because that’s what I need right now
