    Hopefully it was a small enough stroke that he doesn't suffer long term damage. Also, hopefully it doesn't send him into a spiral with his hypochondria. Absolutely wild he would have a stroke though. He is young enough, and I wouldn't think in enough high risk categories that this is kinda wild.

        Yeah, covid can cause blood clots, and messes with the vascular system in general. There's an increased risk of heart attack and stroke months after infection and everyone is just assuming that risk will go away the more we are infected.

        I've wondered that too, but given the cdc's hellbent drive to remove all covid-related data from the public eye, I suspect that even if/when there is an increase of strokes in young people, it won't get reported the way it should.

          Remember when children were getting a hepatitis epidemic following the pandemic and they treated it like a fucking mystery?

      I think he's always had some health condition. I don't remember what it was called.

        I wanna say something glib like he got infected with the woke mind virus but to my knowledge he just had a severe back injury related to a motor vehicle accident in his youth.

          ah, so less of a hereditary condition and more of a series of complications from a past incident
