Seems after doing some digging that Reese died suddenly from an aneurism completely unrelated to covid.
“I just spoke to him on New Years Eve. He had just run five miles when we talked, and he was about to take his son out hunting,” [Rep Dunbar] added.
He announced testing positive for covid dec 7. So I think it's fair to say he was well over the virus by probably the third week in Dec. You also probably wouldn’t go for a run with an active respiratory infection.
Not that this will stop the CDC from adding him to the covid death totals.
The problem is the coagulopathies that COVID can induce. Fairly young people coming into the ER with MIs. That said, perhaps he just had an AV malformation or something.
Doesn’t the flu have the propensity to cause similar blood coagulation issues due to immune response? I just am so skeptical of everything related to COVID these days.
"COVID-19 can make blood cells more likely to clump up and form clots. While large clots can cause heart attacks and strokes, much of the heart damage caused by COVID-19 is believed to stem from very small clots that block tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in the heart muscle.
Other parts of the body affected by blood clots include the lungs, legs, liver and kidneys. COVID-19 can also weaken blood vessels and cause them to leak, which contributes to potentially long-lasting problems with the liver and kidneys."

I was unaware that covid did that until this week when a friend's husband had to be hospitalized due to blood clots.
Apparently the long term effects can be bad.

Look up cold agglutinin disease. Can happen with practically any virus and it’s common
Yes, unfortunately.
I hope they get better.

Nothing about aneurisms or clots in the brain.
The hypercoagulability leads to strokes
you know clots can move around, right?
Fair point. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33019920/
MI = Heart Attack right? Or Mitral Insufficiency? Not a doctor.
Yeah. Myocardial infarction. My bad -- sorry for using jargon!
myocardial infarction
am a doctor
Had they vaccinated?
