Well this particular guy in the article died. I’m not sure the one in the radio episode I heard lived, but having Covid and being immunocompromised doesn’t sound all that pleasant.

He was probably sedated and ventilated for the majority of it. 318 days of Covid isn't something you'll be up and about with.
