Almost certainly, considering it was caught early, they're treating it with an overabundance of caution, and he has access to the best healthcare in the world. Doubly so since we've found multiple effective treatments to minimize symptomatic time and severity since this whole thing started. Assuming he doesn't have any underlying conditions that exacerbate things, he should be fine in about a week, with almost no major negative after-effects. People just hear raw mortality statistics and don't really understand what they mean. Most of the people dying from this tend to be already immuno-compromised in some way - it's why a lot of casualties are coming from poorer elderly who already have health and nutrition issues (especially in nursing homes), or lower-income individuals who can't get top-tier treatment. Even for his age group, he's got a baseline recovery chance of somewhere around 90% or so. Once you factor in other variables, it goes up considerably. With someone who has his level of wealth and influence, not only is treatment going to be as superior as possible, but years worth of personal shoppers and paid chefs means he's probably nutritionally superior to most people on this board, so he's starting ahead of the game. Sure, it's possible he could die, but I'd be extremely shocked if he does. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
