How is this possible? Why is it that he went so long with hair, but he started losing it really suddenly, almost at random? Is it possible that Covid is accelerating androgenic alopecia?

Perhaps the virus is accelerating aging in the brain/follicles.

Was he vaxxed? It's pretty popular to blame the vax for everything and anything.

If you don't lose your hair by 70 you pretty much just don't have AGA. This is further supported by your comment that it's patchy. AGA is normally associated with the familiar patterns of recession. It's far more likely it's just normal hair loss due to age.

He either has cancer or got covid and didn't know about it so now the virus is doing its damage. Make sure he exercises and eats healthy. Boomers are dropping like flies.

The reaper spares no one. Not even your dad. But it's okay, there's worse things in life than loss of hair.

weird, my dad's losing his hair too suddenly in his 70s.
