He had polio in his youth, and quite likely measles, too. The Stone Age didn't have vaccines......

Yea, I'm looking at say maybe cardiac failure stuff...pulmonary edema which may in the early symptoms look like a respiratory flu in say someone younger that Mitch....Being in hospital over a week for flu..not a causal flu if it is just that...he should be home if that was the case...

It would be nice if we got some leaked updates...Being say in bed for a week for someone his age only causes muscle weakness etc...and he already could barely walk....
