Unfortunately, it was revealed this week Denver Broncos superstar Von Miller had contracted COVID-19. Friday morning, he sat down with the Today Show to discuss his bout with the illness. Some of the details were truly discouraging.

He recounted how he has mostly overcome the deadly virus, but he was primarily shocked by how easily he had become sick. Miller says he had only left his house four times in the span of a month and still became the second NFL player to contract coronavirus.

Miller says he was actually closely adhering to the stay at home orders that government officials had been issuing, and he did everything he could to avoid other people. He only left to get food, and never left his car.

He conceded that there were visitors in his home, such as plumbers, maids, and workers he hires, but that was all. What makes it so scary is the fact that even though he put in the recommended effort to stay safe, he wasn't.

Miller's contraction of coronavirus just goes to show how serious things are right now, but his recovery is a small silver lining on the troubling situation.
