Fidel Castro keeps on writing essays and editorial pieces, but does he ever appear in public? How's he doing?

Question

What is the status of Fidel Castro these days? How is is health?

Answer 1

i should think he's quite dead by now or else they would be parading him about like he's the pope or something.

Answer 2

State secret.  If he were to die, they could keep writing with a ghostwriter and people would never know.  Raul isn't the charismatic sort his brother was, so it is important to make the Cuban people think Fidel is still alive.
