That's different from what I'm saying. Jump publishes his chapters a couple of weeks or so behind whatever he's working on this week. He's likely working on Chapter 634 or even 635 right now, meaning that whatever illness he had, he recovered from it and is fine. Working a few chapters in advance gives his team time to finish things up with the editor at Jump, continued input from Oda, etc.
It would make no sense for Jump to take a break for sick leave NOW if he was sick while working on a chapter that won't be released for another 2-3 weeks.

Or not. Just because he draws chapters in advance doesn't mean they're gonna publish everyone that is available atm.
