Among all the language released publicly, one phrase attracted unusual attention.
“Exceptional health.”
It sounded reassuring.
It was intended to sound reassuring.
But the internet immediately began asking what it actually meant.
What measurements had produced that conclusion?
What standards were being used?
What did “exceptional” mean for someone of advanced age?
Could someone have a chronic condition and still be considered generally healthy?
The answer, medically, could be yes.
Human health was never a single number.
A person could have one chronic condition while having excellent cardiovascular function.
A person could take medication and still perform normally.
A person could have a visible bruise and have nothing medically serious happening.
But social media rarely rewarded nuance.
Nuance required patience.
The internet rewarded certainty.
