died Monday after a brief illness.

WTF does that mean?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

Died = to pass from physical life: expire

Monday = day of the week between sunday and tuesday

After = following in time or place

Brief = a short period of time

Illness = sickness, an unhealthy condition of body or mind

I'm with you - I don't know if I've seen those words together like that in that order.

Does that mean something like covid/extreme flu? "brief" tends to mean minor - so what "brief illness" is fatal?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Brief as brief in time. So very acute and very fatal
