[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]California University of Pennsylvania senior DT Jamain Stephens Jr. died from complications of COVID-19, the school said. The 6-3, 355-pound Stephens was 20. His father, also named Jamain, was a 1st-round draft pick of the Steelers in 1996 & played 5 seasons in the NFL.

A death of a college student, a varsity athlete, no less.[/quote]

Obese and black. Both high risk categories. Perhaps an underlying condition we also don’t know about?  Not that he doesn’t matter but I’m not surprised. He fits the profile. [/quote]

I am so glad you are not a police officer who does traffic stops

[b]What happens when it is a white slender person?  I am sure you will come up with some profile for them too[/b].  [/quote]

Common all over DCUM -- People who take every single death and insist "there was an underlying condition we don't know about/they didn't reveal!" These PPs don't want to understand the horribly random nature of this virus. They must, must, must have neat little formulas so they feel they have the power to predict why someone gets sick or dies. It gives them a sense of control in over a senseless virus, but they believe they have special knowledge. Yes, risk categories are real, but there also are many cases where healthy people get very ill, and are having continuing problems that may never end (too soon to know) or they die. The randomness of that is something these PPs cannot endure because it violates their tidy formulas that make them feel both safe and superior. [/quote]
