Doesn't rhinovirus just mean you have a cold?

Getting sick with any kind of virus is scary at that age. Praying for you, Skip

It sucks Skip retired when he just barely turned 63 when you had famous coaches in his generation coaching deep into their 70s.

If Skip would have remained the coach until 2018, we would had 3 more national championships. Great help is hard to find.

LSU would've won 3 more titles - easily.

It can cause lower respiratory tract pathology as well. He doesn't have pneumonia,so it's probably some other lower tract infection and they just found rhinovirus on a sputum PCR during the workup. Rhinovirus may or may not be the cause of the reason he's hospitalalized.

It's not your fault that you can't throw strikes. It's my fault for recruiting you.

Get well, Skip!

Sounds like a good enough reason to me to postpone the Bama game.

That is the virus that causes the cold, yes. But it can also lead to pneumonia, especially in vulnerable populations.

Yep. Was actually transported by ambulance at around 6 pm and later admitted. Never good to see that.
