Gregg Garfield was “patient zero” at a California hospital where he was placed on a ventilator for 31 days. On Friday he beat the long odds he faced in his recovery.
But with the help of physicians and physical trainers, he was slowly able to regain his mobility and returned home with a walker.
On the day of his release, the entire staff at Providence St. Joseph gathered for a round of applause to cheer on the man who survived coronavirus, after two months of hospitalization. He still has a long road to full recovery, but Garfield hopes that people take the coronavirus pandemic seriously. "The only thing I really am focused on right now is telling the story about how real this is," he told KCAL-TV.
