Nineteen-year-old North Carolina university student in “tremendous shape” dies from COVID

On Monday, a 19-year-old college student at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, died from neurological complications after contracting COVID-19. Chad Dorrill, described as being in “tremendous shape” by his uncle, contracted the virus after his return to Boone for fall classes.
quote:
After developing flu-like symptoms, Dorrill returned home, where he tested positive on September 7. After quarantining for 10 days, and being cleared by his doctor, he returned to school. Soon afterward, he began suffering serious neurological problems. “When he tried to get out of bed his legs were not working, and my brother had to carry him to the car and take him to the emergency room,” his uncle, David Dorrill, told the New York Times. “It was a COVID complication that rather than attacking his respiratory system attacked his brain.”

Sad that any kid in the prime of his life dies, but does Covid now attack the brain?

How many young people die from the flu each year?

How about blame what it was. Meningitis.

It’s sad, but it’s 99.997%, not 100%

So now we have moved to it causes deadly brain damage.
That's a new one.
They are running out of ideas at bullshite headquarters.
As if the gunshot deaths, motorcycle deaths, myocarditis that no one is getting at all in sports from it, heart failure from lifelong diabetes, and lung cancer from smoking that have all been attributed to Covid wasn't enough.
Now it literally ends your neurons for the first time in 8 months.

Doesn't matter... we're still on pace to have fewer deaths in this mostly peaceful pandemic than last few years.

Did you even read the article?
quote:
According to Tonia Maxcy, a family friend, doctors suspect that COVID-19 triggered an undetected case of Guillain-Barré syndrome in Dorrill. Guillain-Barré causes the body’s immune system to attack nerve cells.
It was also linked to the Zika virus outbreak in Brazil in 2015, where it caused paralysis in those affected by the syndrome.
As of June 29, according to the journal Neurological Sciences, there have been approximately 31 reported cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome caused by COVID-19 worldwide.

Huh, that's a quote from his uncle. I guess his uncle is a neurologist and has done extensive research into covid attacking brains. I'm sure he performed the autopsy as well to back up these claims, right?
Damn, I'm so tired of this fricking virus.

Yes. Covid-19 is one of the dozens of things that could have caused meningitis.
Obviously, it had to be Covid though.

Got it from a Facebook link but did a google search and saw some local news sites are now picking it up

No, he died due to Covid, just like Token in the pandemic special.
