So, poor guy contracted covid on Dec 18th, was home quarantining, then admitted to hospital out of abundance of caution in order to receive Remdesivir and steroids. On Dec 24th there was an announcement that he was stable. Next thng you know he passed away on Dec 29th.
Seems like this is the way it happens for some people, like their 5th-6th day they start to get "sicker".
Anyway, condolences to his wife and 2 small children.
Bottom line you can't make rules about this disease, nor about any individual's biology. Nor does this virus have a binary outcome.

But did he have other health conditions? If he did, I'm the last to say whether COVID or the other health concerns are what got him, but I love how they qualify it.
Edit: Just saw Ralph's post.
