McDowell had been hospitalized, then released, then hospitalized again after three "brutal days" with double pneumonia and what he had tweeted was likely COVID-19. It was unclear whether he had ever been tested.

McDowell confirmed the return home in a tweet late Wednesday, and that it had indeed been COVID-19:
