Via the BBC: Venezuela’s Chavez ‘conscious’ says VP Nicolas Maduro
Not only conscious, but the Venezuelan VP recounted the following:
He said Mr Chavez gripped his hand "with gigantic force" as they spoke, discussing political matters, the economy in Venezuela and the swearing-in of new governors following regional elections.
So, “conscious” and a a good grip.
What else do you need to know?
