  1. What everyone doesn’t want to realize that no matter your age you’re still human and you can get this disease healthy or with underlying risk.

    1. @Joe V Not very good at math, are we. The mortality rate is sitting at about 2% factoring in all values. And long term affects note almost all recovered patients have some form of permanent lung, heart or major organ damage.

    2. @DarkKnightTrinity well the facts say if you are under 60 the mortality rate is less that 0.5 percent.

  2. I swear if I didn’t have to work I would seclude myself to a cabin in the woods somewhere. This is no joke.

    1. @Ian Hampton only idiots are stupid enough to go to a hospital and entrust their lives to the murdering doctors and nurses

    2. God speed take all precautions and know that if it is ment for you it will not miss you and that faith without works is truly Dead.

    3. @Jeff Osborne Yes they are. Try reading or watching the news or better yet listening to what doctors and nurses are saying. After all they would know better than you, me, and anyone else not in the medical field.

  3. Very grateful to each COVID 19 survivor who shares their experience – we all have so much to learn.

    1. @Shawna L We can also drive the speed limit, keep a safe distance from the car in front of us and pay attention at all times while driving. Another way of saving even more lives..

    2. @Robert Millar 50,000 people per month, in the United States alone, die from Cancer. MORE people have died from Cancer in the same amount of time Covid-19 has been in the United States. There is no cure for cancer.. at all. There will be a vaccine, eventually, for covid-19.

  4. This is so scary. I wish her well she looks terrible 💔 glad she survived. We don’t know enough about this virus we must be carful and take all safety measures. Keep you your children and your family safe everyone 💔🤍💙

    1. camjamsdad well you’re gf said it so it must be true… If someone is recovering from a awful virus like this I doubt they care about make up lol..

    2. @kande Meyer I don’t know anyone who has had this virus. But I know plenty of people who’ve had the flu.

    3. Sam Adams I happen to know a few and one was a young girl that died who was on a ventilator for three months 22 yr old good health. Why wait to take it seriously until you do know someone it has killed? I wish you the best.

  5. She’s literally a few days older than I am; I turned 27 on the 23rd of June… I really didn’t think someone my age could get this ill. Sending lots of love from 🇿🇦

    1. Tested + twice, probably was counted twice or more in the Cv19 system. Had appendicitis & was too afraid to get checked out because of this scare mongering media! So it got infected worse and they don’t really know how the virus could do this, It can’t, It was a normal appendix infection, let go do to being afraid! Now they are blaming this common ailment on CV19? If she died, she would have been a Cv19 death not appendicitis. Thanks god, She was young & healthy, she got sick and did not die or another false CV19 death would be in the books! “What do young people need to know” Go to the Doctors if you are having an appendix attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    2. @foreigner fan every one that gets it think that they are ready to fight the good fight and recover with no harm done but COVID-19 is created to make you think twice.Be careful many have been given a clean bill of health on Monday and go for their last run on Tuesday. They know a lot be not everything and this COVID-19 is new

    3. babies and teens are dieing… or bave died from it.. everyone reacts different its no telling how your body will react,, thats the scary part

  6. Thank you for sharing, people need to hear this, it’s not a hoax. I pray for your recovery.
    PLEASE follow the guidelines, they’re set in place for your safety and the safety of others.

    1. @Galaxy S5 The statistic you are looking for is deaths/cases, not deaths/world population. I didn’t want to have to tell you that, as I was hoping you’d disappear by now.

    1. Poor girl. Hope she fully recovers. She’s got youth on her side and a nice attitude.

  7. So not just the “sniffles” like Dear Leader claims… hmmm. I think this will make it hard for him to be “eventually right about everything”.
    We may need to flush 10 times but the great orange turd has to go down.

  8. Lindsey looks like she literally went through hell and then came back again. People, be sure to stay safe and be vigilant. This virus really packs a punch..or worse.

    1. Yeah, I am really worried about myself… Mainly because I know how my body reacts to normal sickness… I am usually a very healthy person, don’t really get sick all that often. Haven’t really been sick in a couple years, however, last time I was really sick, I happened to catch the actual flu… Usually for people the flu is over within a couple days to a week a max, usually… Though for me, if a virus gets passed my immune system, my immune system takes a dive… It’s kinda counter productive, and it really sucks… But if I happen to get sick, I actually get a lot sicker throughout the sickness because my immune system gets even weaker. The last time I actually caught the flu, a couple years ago, I was out of commission for almost 3 full weeks before I could really get out of bed for more than anything other than using the restroom or taking a bath, and even then it took me another week and a half for all my symptoms of sickness went away… I have had HSV-1 for as long as I can remember… I use the symptoms I get from that to gauge how well my immune system is working… The only time that those symptoms are either when I am really sick or my immune system just takes a dive for whatever reason, and then when that happens I make especially sure I am doing everything I can safely. Don’t really go out of the house really when the symptoms flare up randomly because I know at that point my immune system is already more susceptible to infections than at any point.

    2. No, I think she is far shirt from going through Hell, but most likely dragged through Chicago or NY….

    3. I was hospitalized in ICU with a severe kidney infection which sounds remarkably the same, symptom and recovery wise, as what Lindsey is describing. There’s no way I’d wish that on anyone, and I’d sure as hell never would have wanted to spread it to anyone, had that been a possibility – which obviously it wasn’t. I’ve had three natural births, and they were nothing compared to the pain and horror of that infection.

  9. Media needs to start showing the medical bills for some of these people. I have
    heard they are massive? Lots of bankruptcies coming. Lots.

    1. MASSIVE. Lol if you don’t make 7 figures and it going back to work to make a couple g’s by the time you get sick and lose it all with medical bills..they want us as slaves to pump the economy while they pump money to their friends.

  10. Lol. He said “Happy Birthday??”

    Damn right happy birthday 🎈. God bless you. Every day above ground is a good day.

    1. @PermanentHigh Wow, so you are God?
      You know all? NO! I know who you are. You are one of the kids I taught, with opinions based out of thin air, lazy, uneducated, unmotivated, unhappy, depressive, possibly on medications, add, adhd, self harming, rude and antagonistic, can’t focus, have mainly an online social life, etc..

      Is it you ???? Pompous little wanna be.

    2. Sam Adams, all she had to do was rub her eyes for a minute or two. Not that hard. I guess the Rona caused her to forget what a mirror and makeup are.

  11. She’s so pale and frail looking. Coronavirus has really taken it’s toll on her. I sure hope that she fully recovers. She’s been through a lot!🤦‍♀️

    2. @Amy I have a hard time even thinking it was that. She looks like she has makeup on to make her look like that. She’s awfully bubbly for someone who still look that ill.

  12. I appreciate her honest appearance. She didn’t spackle on the makeup to hide how bad she feels.

    1. Call on Jesus Christ for salvation today everyone. The blessed Lord shall soon return. Amen.

      A Prayer for Coronavirus Victims and A Message to All

      Dear Father in Heaven, please give salvation, comfort, strength, and hope to all who mourn the passing of the deceased and heal the sick (according to Your blessed will and purpose O God). In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ Your blessed and holy Son. Thank You dear God. Amen.

      Dear ones, please repent and surrender to Christ so that you can be saved from God’s Wrath and inherit eternal life. The blessed Lord shall soon return. Amen.

      God is calling the world to turn from sin and follow Jesus Christ. Amen.

      God is Not Trying to Save The World

      He’s Trying to Save You

      Many people are missing the entire point of the disasters that God is sending to Earth. The Hurricanes, the tornadoes, the earthquakes, the typhoons, the cyclones, the tsunamis, and why He’s allowing the wars and rumours of wars to happen: These are all signs of the end times, my friend, and God is not trying to save this world, but He’s trying to save you out of the world. He’s trying to save you so that you can be ready when Jesus Christ returns because God is going to destroy this world and make a new one.

      So quit trying to be so ready for things to get back to normal because if one thing goes away, God is going to send something else to get people’s attention. Many people who saw 9/11 died in Hurricane Katrina. Many people who saw Katrina died in the Las Vegas mass shooting. Many people saw what happened in Puerto Rico died of the Coronavirus. Folks, there are things that God is trying to wake up the world with so the world can realize that God is in charge and serve Him because He’s coming back. He’s not playing. The worst thing you can experience is eternal damnation in Hell. So quit thinking it’s business as usual. Your Sin business should be over. It’s time to serve the Lord! Amen.

    2. @KungFlu BatSoup Of course. That red all around her eyes in the interview was not present in the photo of her post surgery. 😉

    3. @Rodney Watson it won’t be. When you sit up and try to move around is when the redness will become obvious. Same thing happened to me with a severe kidney infection. My eyes were nearly black for weeks after. In hospital, drugged up, I looked pretty good.
