    Well that may be it since he said he’d step aside for a medical condition.

    But since COVID isn’t all that threatening in most cases I doubt he’ll consider that a condition.

      I don’t know man.

      I had COVID like 7 months ago, and that headache was so got damn bad, I thought my head was gonna explode.

      Imagine the worst tension headache you’ve ever had in your life and it won’t go away even with a thousand milligrams of Tylenol. I couldn’t imagine going through that at eighty one years old

        This was the most memorable thing about covid for me besides the fatigue. I rarely get headaches but it gave me the worst headache of my life for a solid week.

          Right? Same with me. I rarely get them too.

          I was tired as fuck and you can’t sleep because the headache is like a vice crushing your head.

        It affects different people in different ways.

        I had zero headache, a runny nose (but only my right nostril), was a bit fatigued, and thirsty like a man in the desert for a 1,000 days. These lasted 3 days, the mild fatigue about a week.

        Hell of a birthday week that was!

        I don’t know, especially considering the effects of COVID on older folks and long COVID, he may be willing to use this as his step-down excuse.

          Yeah, can we get someone in there to diagnose some long COVID while he’s still in the acute phase?

      since COVID isn’t all that threatening in most cases I doubt he’ll consider that a condition.

      In the case of an 81yo with one of the most stressful jobs in the world, though? You bet your ass it is!
