Let's hope Mr. Prine beats the odds.
Not sure we know this data yet. A 70% death rate could well be a worst-case scenario:

I am praying for John to pull through. I have been a fan of his music for 40+ years. He has written so many wonderful songs. All the best to John and Fiona.

Lots of positive Karma to John and Fiona for full recoveries.

Well, I hope so, but even in your link the author quotes his "best published information" as having a 66% mortality rate.

I shouldn't really have even brought this up yet though. It's bad enough without discussing the depressing statistics. Let's just hope the dice roll in his favor.

Yes, and the 66% is from a single study in the UK with only 98 patients, which amounts to practically anecdotal information.

Totally agree with your second point.

A few hours ago Fiona posted (in part) "I need to clarify what I meant by 'John is stable'. That is not the same as improving. There is no cure for COVID-19. He needs our prayers and love-as do thousands of others who are critically ill. Stay at home. Wash your hands. We love you."

Here's some of John and Stephen Colbert singing That's The Way the World Goes Round that never aired.

The latest from John's wife...

Fiona Whelan Prine

15 mins
This is John’s 8th day in ICU . He is receiving excellent medical care and being treated with kindness and compassion by the entire team looking after him day and night.
I cannot be with him which makes this nightmare all the more distressing for me.
As you know, John was put on a ventilator last Saturday. He still needs quite a bit of help with his breathing. Like many patients currently in ICU beds all around the world, John has pneumonia in both lungs. He has also developed some peripheral issues that are being treated with meds, including antibiotics.
He is very ill and yet I remain hopeful that he can continue to fight this devastating virus and come home where we can care for him.
I don’t have the words to adequately Thank You all for the outpouring of love and prayers that John and our family has received this last week. It means the world to us to have your love and support at this difficult time.
On behalf of me and our boys- Jody Jack and Tommy - please know that we are keeping you all in our hearts with a prayer that you stay safe and healthy. Please continue to send Love, Prayers and Positive Energy to John. He needs us now more than ever.
John loves you and I love you too.🙏🏼❤️💚
