A college student and former high school basketball player has died from Covid-19, highlighting the virus's danger even toward the young and healthy

Chad Dorrill, a 19-year-old sophomore at Appalachian State University in North Carolina, died this week after complications from Covid-19, according to the university. He was diagnosed with the virus earlier in September. Dorrill lived off campus, and all of his classes were online. The university did not say how he contracted the virus.

As we approach the halfway mark to the last day of classes for the Fall semester, we are seeing a rise in COVID-19 cases in students," Everts warned.Classes -- a mix of online and in-person -- began in August. Since March 27, more than 600 people at the university have contracted the virus, according to the school's tally.

DaveBautista gotta stop with statistical outliers

Blame China

Covid was not the cause of death like many of this phoney 200000 number. They would have died anyway just happened to test positive after death

Always with the fear mongering 🤣😂 that only ignorant 🐑 believe

How do we know that person died from covid-19, if you think I trust any story printed ,your wrong, verifying a statement made or story told will be scrutinized

= DNC disinformation campaign and FearMongering .

I’m an ICU RN and this is of course tragic but unfortunately we still see a few “young/healthy” people die of the flu, pneumonia, heart attack, etc every year. Things you wouldn’t expect young ppl to die from. There will always be outliers. Prayers 🙏🏻

CNN. Fear mongerers. How do you shut down a news organization?

How many people actually recovered from Kung Flu? Why doesn't CNN ever mention that?

Oh woah. One younger person died. What a story, Mark.

Really, one person and that’s highlighting the crisis for young people? Have you heard what else was wrong with him yet I bet you haven’t.

Prayers

He played basketball? God help us all!

I follow CNN and without fail, every single tweet is a lie, written to convey it as a truth. Every single one... fakenews

200,000 + dead but how many had to be hospitalized?

DaveBautista God Bless...

Responsiveness to diseases and athletic ability are different issues.

This is nothing new. The virus doesn’t discriminate! If ur human & u get it.. newsflash: u may die. Period.

😖😡😢

muh one anecdote!

While it’s sad for anyone to die from Covid, does CNN need to write a big article about one death? I am pretty sure more people died from car accidents than from Covid in this age group.

Trumpsters reading this

Shhhhhh don't tell Trump.... he thinks the young have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the virus.

Trump-er thumpers are not going to like this! We don’t like it either but for very different reasons. BidenHarris2020

The parents didn't reach out to you, so you don't know if he had underlying conditions, you just put otherwise 'healthy' without knowing the truth!!!

Attention all cnn viewers... “BOO!”

Please report on the undiagnosed underlying medical conditions that they discover during an autopsy. This virus isn’t deadly for healthy individuals. “Seemingly” healthy isn’t healthy

😢

ready 2 follow back ASAP . please don't like my comment, just follow me back for a quick response

Can you share the specific medical code used for the diagnosis of “seemingly otherwise healthy”? I’ve never seen that one used before.

So sad, I get that is is less likely to be serious in young folks but there is for sure a risk!

Thank you for reporting this story. Sadly... Some people believe the orange man in the WH and this virus will take longer to contain with him in charge. WearAMask VoteHimOut2020

People die from the flu, from being hit by a car. It’s called life. When it’s your time it’s your time. Stop fear mongering.
