The prognosis of the virus is a two-tier sorting thing The majority of the time the virus just comes and goes with "flu-like" symptoms Sometimes it becomes a severe illness that attacks the lungs (pneumonia) Your general health affects this process but doesn't determine it

They don't know exactly why the virus causes an illness so much worse in just some patients but it's probably genetic (The theory is the relevant gene is on the X chromosome, which is why men are roughly twice as likely to die of COVID-19 as women)

(Because if you have two X chromosomes you'd need to have the trait on both chromosomes to be vulnerable but if you have XY chromosomes you only have one X chromosome with no backup)

...he was likely exposed to some very sick people shedding lots of virus or even multiple variants of the virus from different people

I understand but I know I have a better shot than my dad that just died from a sudden case of pneumonia after having Cancer. They didn't even test him. He went into hospital in Sunday. They finally announced a confirmed case here hust tonight. I guess they finally got some kits.

To be fair, he was PROBABLY also being worked to the point of exhaustion and that seriously impacts your body's ability to fight off infection.

And ...also... as a whistleblower, he may have succumbed to accidentally tripping and falling on his own lungs accidentally.
