1/A few weeks ago I mentioned on here that a friend of mine, at 25 years old, caught Covid-19 and got really sick. He's much better now and gave me permission to share photos, his name and other details. A thread...
2/His name is Craig Powe. Craig caught Covid-19 twice, the first time he recovered without issue, however, the second time it almost killed him. Craig has no comorbidities, except for childhood asthma, something that has not bothered hime since he was 10 years old
3/A few weeks ago I called Craig about some work only for him to tell me that he's been in the hospital, I was shocked. I asked him what happened. He said, he caught Covid.
4/The second time around he wasn't so lucky. He developed pneumonia, his kidneys started to fail and his oxygen levels started dropping rapidly.
5/Craig is only alive today because of the great doctors at Chest and UWI hospital and because of the quick action on the part of his parents and other family.
6/I've always taken Covid-19 seriously, but after my conversation with Craig, that 8/10 turned into 10/10 for me; this isn't a game. Craig has resources and barely made it, you may not be so lucky.

I'll take my chances with the vaccine.
Craig asked me to acknowledge these doctors specifically:

Sister Sharon Owen,
Dr Kim Johnson,
Dr Metalor,
Dr Emery,
Dr Robinson,
Dr sisnett

Thank YOU!
