Former MLB pitcher Tommy John has contracted COVID-19, but is minimizing the threat of the virus from a hospital bed in California.

The 77-year-old left-hander who played 26 seasons for six teams, including the Yankees, told The Daily Beast Tuesday he had no symptoms of the deadly bug despite being on oxygen at a hospital near his home in Indio, California.

"People are supposed to die when there 77? "

Your post is rather shrill and you sound like a true cowardly COVID disciple. You are going out of your way to justify lockdowns and destroying our economy and freedoms. Either you are full of fear or you are actively advocation foe the destruction of Western civilization.

Well NickCarroway, which one is it?

I know 23 people that have Covid. When you add indirects (for instance a business associate has it, his wife and kids have it but I don’t know them) the total is 80 or so. Assume no false positives. Of these 80, one died. He was 86 years old in a nursing home. Only 3 others have been hospitalized. A 72 year old, an 87 year old and a 91 year old.

Except when it came to Detroit’s All Star second sacker, Dick McAuliffe! (Remember their 1968 brawl!?....I think it was ‘68, maybe it was in’67.)

So when Tommy John recovers from Covid, will his course of treatment then be known as Tommy John Recovery?

‘Developing an expensive vaccine for a disease with a 99.998% survival rate is ludicrous.’

it is worse than ludicrous, but it is the price for our return to any kind of normalcy...
