I don't mean that to sound flippant but the data is the data; risk of complications increases exponentially at 50+ and risk has been consistently higher for men. He's in the "Low ranges" of the riskier categories, but he's in there.
Hancock for example is 41 and recovered in under a week without complications.
Its not an exact science but the trends are extremely strong. The number of men aged 50-60 who get "worse than mild" is small compared to, say, the over-75's but its huge compared to under-45's.
He's also in a high-stress, high-pressure position and chose to continue working which won't have helped at all.
Also worth saying that, as things stand right now, his condition seems to be "the bad end of moderate"... He's not at this point in severe condition, and certainly not critical.
