Surgeonfag here.
Have already posted on voat about this, but I'll repeat.
Viral menigitis does not kill quickly. Young people would be on life support for ages.
Bacterial meningitis can kill quickly but not without severe symptoms in an adult. You couldn't go to do a show on a TV station. Even then, if you reached hospital with a pulse you would be put on life support. It would be days or weeks before we gave up on you at that age.
The story is total crap, and anybody trying to make out it is genuine is a shill.
