Glenn Beck's 2nd Bout With COVID, getting into his lungs

Glenn Beck's 2nd Bout With COVID 'a Little Disturbing'
But conservative radio host says he's not concerned

After getting COVID-19 for the first time in December 2020, Glenn Beck has it again. The conservative radio host posted his positive test result on Instagram last week and discussed it on Mark Levin's radio show this week, the Hill reports. Initially, Beck said his second bout with the coronavirus was "just the worst ‘cold’ I have ever had," as compared to his first round, which "wiped me out for almost 3 weeks."

But on Levin's show Wednesday, he noted that this is in fact a "lighter case, but it's now starting to go into my lungs today, which is a little disturbing." He also noted he has "some other issues" including being overweight, but said he is still "not concerned."

my biggest concern is the description of Beck as a "conservative radio host." I had no idea he had a show, of any kind... of course, I wish him good health, but I also wish he would change his career to one where his opinions were not broadcast.

... that the anti-vaxxers are going to realize that the most prominent anti-vaxxers among them are dying of The Hoax?

Will make the connection that if he got it twice while unvaxxed...
Means that there is no natural immunity to the virus.

I have little doubt that few will, if any.

There are the remnants of a cult around here and they are all of the above when checking the list of conspiracies to which they adhere. I've been told some real tall ones over the past two years.

shared trait in Covid variants seems to be our weight. If someone could kindly explain to me why over weight people seem to be the one’s that get very sick and die from Covid I would appreciate it. People can still be healthy and overweight especially the young. What’s up with Covid and weight?
I know not all overweight people die of Covid but lots of times when I read about a young person losing the “Covid “ challenge they seem to be heavy. Not all but enough to bedazzle me

There's no reason to simply take his word for it, and many years of history to suspect it's just more of his performance art.

My cheering on of the virus is purely wishful thinking on my part, should he actually be telling the truth. The fact the he's probably lying about everything is always right there on the top of the list of probabilities.

I don't know why I always start laughing hysterically every time I see him cry.

It's like some kind of reflex action, just can't help it.
