[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]James Ring, President of the Lakeland, Florida GOP, is recovering from a serious bout with Covid. He is a healthy and fit 39-year-old with no preexisting conditions, but at one point his blood-oxygen level was 78 and he thought he was going to die.

[quote]Ring said the emergency room doctor immediately admitted him into the COVID unit.  Both his lungs were filled with COVID-19 pneumonia and the virus had thickened his blood, making him susceptible to clots in his heart, lungs, and legs, “which could ultimately prove fatal.” He said they gave him steroids for his lungs, a breathing treatment, shots in his stomach to thin his blood, and “a cocktail of medications to fight the infection in my lungs.”

“The nights were filled with the sounds of people coughing uncontrollably and crying. Everyone was alone and desperate for help,” Ring said. “I remember looking out my window with the view of Lakeland Hills Boulevard, watching (Lakeland Police) cars pass and remembering how I used to be one of them. I cried and cried as I began to accept that I probably wasn’t going to make it out of the hospital alive. Everyday had just been more bad news and my symptoms kept getting worse.”

He hopes that people will realize the pandemic isn't over, to continue wearing a mask, and get vaccinated.

[quote]"I contracted the virus and unknowingly passed it to some of the people I love the most,” declining to say publicly who that is. He added that they are all doing ok. “I shared my story to say this - this pandemic is not over. [b]Please take it seriously and remember to wear a mask. Even if you think they’re silly, it’s better than sitting all alone in a COVID unit wishing you had[/b].”

It would be nice if some of these GOP leaders could develop a respect for science and empathy BEFORE they got COVID.  [/quote]
It’s the Republican way to not give a sh!t about anything until it affects you personally.[/quote]
