The first sign is that over the past few days he started doing some articles, and then he commented in the moderator chat:My sentence is up Friday. Looks like I'm going home on oxygen, but only two percent. Lost thirty pounds -- can't recommend COVID as a weight loss regimen though. Will attempt to contribute more, though I spend most of my time sleeping.
I didn’t say anything immediately, in case Fred had a relapse, but he looks to be in the zone.
The Times of Israel had an article the other day about a small scale study (166 patients) looking at how Covid patients recover, which suggests what we can hope for Fred:
95% of former COVID patients suffer no irreversible damage, Israeli study finds
Zedek hospital finds 94% still report symptoms three months on, notably shortness of breath, but most symptoms disappear within six months.

Here’s hoping that, in his usual way, Fred recovers quickly and well.
