In a radio interview Wednesday, [Chicago Cubs pitching coach] Tommy Hottovy detailed his month-long experience with the virus, which he contracted in May. According to the former pitcher, his ordeal included a trip to the hospital, viral pneumonia and six straight days of a fever. It took him 30 days to produce a negative test, and he lost 18 pounds.

“It is important to understand that, guys, I’m 38 years old,” Hottovy told the Mully & Haugh Show on Chicago’s 670 the Score. “I’ve been poked, prodded, tested for the last 16 years in Major League Baseball. I’ve had no underlying issues, nothing that would red flag me as somebody that would get hit pretty hard with this virus. But I did. My journey through this virus was not like ones you hear of younger people who are asymptomatic or only have it for a few days. I got crushed.”

Hottovy’s symptoms were mild at first, but at the start of the second week he developed “COVID pneumonia.” He had trouble breathing and ran a near-constant fever. On the 12th day, it got bad enough that he drove to the hospital.

“I was able to be released later in the day, and a lot of that was because they needed the room for people that were worse than I was,” he said. “And actually going to the hospital and seeing what the front-line workers and the hospitals were dealing with, honestly it’s eye-opening.”

Hottovy said that even today, more than six weeks after the onset of his symptoms, he experiences shortness of breath and his cardiovascular health is “nowhere near” where it was before he got sick.

11 comments....total......in this washPost fear porn.

yet, over two thousand comments on one of the "hit" pieces on tRump.

Dude, no one is reading this fear porn story. No one cares. they know it's fear porn. A guy got sick, and is now better. Happens thousands of times, each and every day.

And again. Does Hottovy SMOKE. Smoke anything? And, if you have to ask why it matters...you clearly don't . (matter)

Sad....but quite true. And now they want to double down and blame the opening of bars. My guess is that most minded people see and understand this, but are astonished it is happening, to them... but their heels are dug in so deep they can not openly admit they are being played.

… right it wasn't bars. Everyone knows God (the Christian one) did it because SCOTUS affirmed a level of rights for gay people.

… we should change the name of the virus to the American Moron virus. The Europeans don't want us running around their countries infecting them. Maybe we just have a particularly virulent strain.

I was talking yesterday to a buddy in the real estate business in the Outer Banks. They're having a banner year so far, rentals all full. They've recently had an outbreak of the virus and of course the knee jerk reaction was that must have been from the out of towners, but nope, tracing brought 50 cases back to a 17 year old party of locals as the nexus...almost all of this little outbreak are locals...the virus really doesn't care where people congregate together in close quarters or where they're from. It's all fresh tinder.

Bars are just one such place...the point is to not congregate and wear the darn masks!

do that, and we can all work and some play.

Don't and we face crushing hospital systems, medical workers, first responders...but yeah, we can still get drunk with others doing the same...

You are completely mischaracterizing what I posted - which contained no comment by me at all, just a summary of the article. If you are referring to some of the comments to the article, I claim no responsibility for those views, and quite well would disagree. I actually hope Mr. Cain comes out of this fine. But there were those of us who thought the Tulsa rally was a bad idea...

Until, it's someone you WANT to see ? Is that it?

Ask your fantasy draft geeks what they feel about all this? Oh right, you nerds will come up with something....nay, already have. Pro gaming.....awesomer. NE Patriots owners sponsor a team. You can even bet on it. you needs people.

And never ever never could an outbreak be traced back to 1,000's in the streets protesting looting or rioting. No virus there.Move along.
