Drew Brophy - in ICU w/ COVID fighting for his life

This is why I think there’s more to this than just covid. Dude has to have had something else going on.
A million Americans died from sniffles.
But when you say "1%", it really sounds as harmless as a flu.
Wonder why you do that?
My boy at work went through a similar situation.
homeboy nearly died and refused To go to hospital. So fucking lucky

Correct - under 1%.
But he entered the ICU.
It's a whole different ballgame there.
Your odds if you end up in the ICU are very poor.
The survival rate in ICU is around 30%.
The death rate is around 70%
In other words, making it out of there is a big fvcking deal.
And beyond that, a lot of patients in the ICU that survive can't go home, they're discharged to a facility awake and oriented but ventilator dependent w/ tracheostomy and feeding tube.
The fact that he was discharged from the hospital to home after an ICU stay is even a big deal.
Which is what his brother meant.
So yes he beat the odds, in more ways than one.
The trip is how some people don't get and some people get it a little and then it totally fucks up some people and then it kills people.
I get the sense the wife is trying to create a rosy picture.
Thanks Faouchi

Genetics, underlying health (age and weight and etc) , and vitamin D levels, in my totally uneducated opinion, are the main determinants, perhaps even more important than the mRNA vaccines, in how severe a persons experience with Covid will be. If you have bad genetic luck, I think that’s where these outlier examples of severe cases in otherwise healthy people come from

Here he is riding a very stealth looking #mutant model @barrsurfboards with the great @claycolton1 singing “feed the fire” as background. Thank you wife @robin.l.lambresi for all you do, have been doing and continue to do in my recovery. ❤️❤️"

Looks like he was trying to climb up something to take a picture or whatever, the rocks were slippery cause they're close to the water and he slid down the rocks/stairs and fucked up both his feet. Gnarly pics. Gross. Hope he can surf again. Damn. Be careful out there folks.
