MONTREAL — Roxanne Smith doesn’t have much patience right now for the people she still sees saying that COVID-19 isn’t real, or isn’t serious — especially if they’re around her age.
In a way, she can sympathize, she said, since she also used to believe that the virus didn’t hit the young very hard.
But that was before the 24-year-old landed in hospital for weeks, preparing for long-term debilitation.
Smith, a law student with three young children, said she had no serious health problems prior to the infection. She wrote on a GoFundMe page that she had had some health issues since childhood and was immunosuppressed but stable.
She’s now on a feeding tube and has been told to prepare for months of physical therapy and other appointments. She walks like a 90-year-old and cannot run, she said. She can’t concentrate or read.
“I feel like a little baby,” she said. “I just want to sleep all day.”
You ARE a little baby !!! … ” OH BOO HOO !!! ” …
You can spit out three kids before you’re 25 years old but a little virus knocks the Hell outta ya ?!!! … The latest couple of generations have been so pampered by their ( now aging ) Boomer parents they can’t handle stubbing their toe !!! …
