Fox News
A New York man shared an emotional embrace with his young daughters on Tuesday after spending the last 80-something days fighting coronavirus.
"Alfredo was in bad shape when he came to us," Dr. Perry Stein, director of physical medicine and rehabilitation, said in a hospital press release. "When you have COVID-19 and it affects your breathing it can be torture but Alfredo pushed himself every single day. He showed incredible perseverance and resilience and I give him full credit for pushing himself to this point." While it’s not clear where Hercules contracted the virus, he was eventually deemed healthy enough for discharge. On Tuesday, after being released, he got to hug his daughters again for the first time since testing positive, and the moment was celebrated by many staff who helped care for him.More Related News
