re: Broadway star Nick Cordero dead after 90 days in ICU for covid19

Nick Cordero also played a Mafia type bad guy in Blue Bloods on a few episodes. His character’s name was Victor Lugo.

Thanks for sharing the NEJM link. Clearly the report covers an extremely small sample size of 5 patients, so we can't make too many presumptions other than these cases are rare. It fails to identify how many total under 50 patients were admitted in that 2 week period so that people don't presume that everyone under 50 in this 2 week period presented with large vessel stroke.

The study tells us that 3 of the 5 patients had pre-existing conditions placing them at a higher risk for stroke. Of those three, two were not on any medication (irresponsible since one patient knew about his medical history and chose to not address it and it might not be a stretch to guess that the other patient either knew about his predisposition to diabetes or likely obese/overweight) and another one was not addressing all his risk factors with medication. I am curious to know if the two females were obese or smokers. The study didn't list these paitients weight or BMI.

Unfortunately, we don't know how long all these patients waited after experiencing stroke symptoms, except for Patient 1, before submitting to hospital. That first patient had slurred speech and numbness in limbs for over a day.

Who experiences slurred speech and numbness/weakness on their left limbs for over 28 hours and then says, "hmmm I guess I need to go to the hospital"? Seriously

It is tragic that a young man has passed leaving behind a baby and widow.

Really????

It matters because good data is the most important thing we need! And that is what is so hard to come by with this thing.

I doubt if anyone can be 100% sure there were no underlying conditions on people who otherwise fit the basic pattern of "health".

Sure it's possible that a truly healthy person can die from this under the "right" circumstances, but good data will help determine what defines a healthy person - in the context of this virus.

Don't buy that is the reason he died at 41. All you fricking cucks with your covid death post can blow me.

Funny how nobody has died of cancer, heat attacks, strokes or just old age since March.

Did I do that right, leftist liberals?

Is there a better explanation than article in OP in this thread on when negative tests were and when positive test or tests were?

Article uses 3rd test positive but then throws in negative test after amputation of leg and positive test announce in early May.

I am guessing 3 tests were early and then had a negative like he was getting better initially after amputation but later tested positive again, but article wasn't clear (it could be ad settings in Brave causing formatting to mess up article a lot and just missed details). They also mention machine used to help heart and lungs stopped circulation to leg causing amputation a week later after earlier saying it was a Wuhan complication like clots some patients are getting.

One thing that seems to have changed in treatment from his March 31st admission is immediately going to ventilator versus trying oxygen with shifts to prone position. I know this started back in March, but I am kind of wondering when tests were including first positive and if possible he caught it in hospital and if it was the machine or the virus that directly caused leg problem.

Spoke to a friend here in Houston that knew Cordero’s story
Apparently Cordero had Type 1 diabetes
Was never reported in any media reports
