We didn't see it in the documentary but she may have told him about the documentary and he may have communicated his blessing. He was in the politics game once so he'd be aware of human interest stories and the public image that his wife maintains.
The most positive outcome of the docu is hopefully that people can see the reality of long covid. There were others with it featured, like the nurse and the guy who recovered while his brother is in Derek's situation. It's a reality for many people now and I hope people who are in denial about covid or downplay it watch the programme, it'll be worth it to change their minds if nothing else.
@Beverly Macker, were you thinking of Ulrika?
She's always getting called out for - the audacity - having her 4 kids with 4 different dads.
