Barstool Sports founder and cult retail investing figure Dave Portnoy posted a bedridden video saying he was sick -- possibly with coronavirus -- sending shares of backer Penn National Gaming Inc. sliding on Wednesday.
Portnoy said he hasn’t left his bed in 40 hours. “Do I have Covid? Maybe,” he said in the video, which was posted to social media. “I’m just going to get better, so I can come back and do what I do, which is to entertain you.”
