    1. Viral meaning it can kill him and can get other people sick. What he did he's Def dissapointed but he's where he needs to be. Real fans would want him to get better and not spread something that can also hurt them. He's older its more critical. Praying for him 🙏

    2. I really hope he can recover even if it takes a while. He has been an inspiration to me, even till this day he is. I don't need another loss from the jaws cast, he's the only one left from the jaws trio. I really wish him a good and smooth recovery.

    3. wish you a speedy recovery sir-

      Garlic helps thin out the mucus , does wonders.

      for c19, could barely breathe took 800mg of organic garlic supplement. The next day I could breathe and was coughing up mucus easily.
      I kept taking it for the next 7 to 8 days.

      All the mucus was out of my system, I could breathe.

      Warm to hot showers, breathe in the vapors.

      Best wishes to all,
