Interesting. If it was later than that COVID may have been a good possibility. Sucks when you have good passionate people become a husk of themself cause of sickness.
Oh, no, it wasn't covid. I don't think it was swine flu either, swine flu popped up when I was in college, but I think it was a little after this, but you are accurate in your assessment of his temperament and abilities after whatever happened to him happened. He was like someone who'd gone through long covid or really severe pneumonia.
Cancer possibly? I know that can take the shit out of you for a long time(both my grandmothers fought it). As for Swine Flu(I believe it’s H1N1) I am too young to actually remember that, around 2007 I was 12. I do know one of my ex boss had gotten swine flu when pregnant tho and her child is considered a bubble child cause of how bad it hit him.
My roommate got swine flu and had permanent lung damage. I don't know what happened to him. Cancer could be a possibility, all I know is that a healthy active man in his mid to late 30s just disappeared suddenly and came back months later barely able to function.
Maybe one of these days you could try to catch up? Not trying to be a smartass or anything, you do seem like you care and they made a strong influence on you with whatever happened.
