Harvard Business Review: “Not only is the topic sensitive from a personal and privacy perspective, but there is no specific rule or duty that requires disclosure of a CEO’s adverse health information—unless the executive is incapacitated. Not surprisingly, company executives and boards have chosen various approaches to disclosing high-profile health conditions. The three main paths companies have taken are full disclosure, partial disclosure and silence.”

If his illness is affecting the company I think it becomes a material event and has to be disclosed to the Securities and Exchange commission. But I'm in the UK and not fully familiar with US securities laws.
based on the fact they ask every employee everyday if they have covid i kind of think he lost the right to not disclose his health status
I think he can do whatever he wants. He doesn’t have to disclose an illness just as you don’t have to. He doesn’t owe anyone a thing. .
I wish John V well but at the same time I wish the EC would at least address the fact he does not look well. It's not a secret.
Looks like we are choosing: "silence" and once again the silence is deafening.
