Former Oakland A’s manager Art Howe in ICU with coronavirus

Former Oakland A’s manager Art Howe is in the hospital due to coronavirus, reports Tulsi Kamath of Houston TV station KPRC 2.

The 73-year-old Howe first felt symptoms on May 3. His subsequent test for coronavirus came back positive and he went into isolation in his Houston home, but as his symptoms worsened he ultimately took an ambulance to the hospital on Tuesday. As of Thursday, he’s still in intensive care.

Among the symptoms that Howe described to KPRC were chills that made him shake “like a leaf,” extreme fatigue, and a loss of his sense of taste.
