Heard Dempsey tested positive for the virus...(WTF)
Next day heard that he recovered...(WOW)
A few days later he is dead...(Really WTF)
Am I dreaming this? Did it break down this way?

Consistent with some accounts I've seen. Symptoms often come, ebb somewhat, then hit again even harder, sometimes through multiple cycles over two weeks or more. Not necessarily a consistent curve from start to recovery.

The part that you missed was the day after he "recovered", there was another article in the paper about how he started having trouble breathing and they put him in hospice so they could have access to a breathing machine.

The daughter said that his fever broke around Tuesday or so, so they thought he was on the way to recovery. Sadly, that turned out to be premature.
