My cousin (early 60’s) is an EMT in Michigan. 3 members of his 4 man team were diagnosed with it and hospitalized 2 and a half weeks ago. My cousin has been in ICU in a medically induced coma and on a ventilator for the last 2 weeks and was put on dialysis 2 days ago because of loss of kidney function. The outlook is not good. His teammates remain hospitalized but in varying states of better health.
The problem is symptoms and the illness vary from person to person and are all over the board. In my cousin’s EMT team’s case 1 didn’t get symptoms or sick (he was tested & was negative), the three others were hospitalized and no one knows why. This is what makes fighting it such a problem and forces us into a social distancing/lockdown posture.
For all the others out there with family, relatives, friends, acquaintances sick, my heart goes out to you.
