(Child coughing)
A four year old boy stricken with COVID-19
struggles with every breath job.
Good job buddy.
Imagine how difficult it must be for any parent
to experience their child suffering like this.
The little boy's name is Lincoln.
His mom is sharing video of his hospitalization
as a warning to other parents.
It's just gut wrenching, right?
She wants them to know
that children are not immune.
It was hard to watch,
the coughing spasms are crazy.
You could tell he couldn't catch his breath.
She knows what she's talking about.
Mom is Dr. Anna Zimmerman,
a neonatal physician from Denver.
Thankfully, after five days in the hospital,
Lincoln took a turn for the better.
He was even able to enjoy a popsicles.
He looks like himself again.

And this is the life and death drama
played out at St. Joseph's Medical Center
in Yonkers New York.
Clear.
It's the moment a COVID-19 patient is given
an electric Shock to revive his heart
as medical personnel are warned to step away.
Move everybody move.
A photographer from the Associated Press
who was given extraordinary access inside
the hospital recorded the remarkable moment
as the patient is brought back from the brink of death.
