the people you see behind me were all
infected with corona virus I can't show
you all their faces but what I can do is
tell you their incredible story this is
a group of friends and colleagues who
work at a church in Singapore back in
January one of them got infected with
kovat 19 over a family dinner
and without him knowing he came to
church and had a normal day but little
did he know that his virus was spreading
like wildfire
two people got infected 3 5 10 15 17
people got infected just like that in a
very short time no one knows exactly how
it happened it could have been a meeting
a sneeze a handshake or a cough
that's how contagious corona virus is
and that's how an entire church was shut
down from headaches to fevers to
intensive care units what when I was
infected and when was on I was a
confirmed case the death thought came
through my mind that I would I would die
because of the virus each one of them
had a different response to the virus
some didn't feel it others spent 31 days
in the ICU and the story doesn't end
here in addition to dealing with corona
virus they had to deal with the stigma
the coven 19 stigma is huge at school
their kids were called Kovac kids hotels
didn't let their family stay and family
weddings were forced to be canceled this
is why we had to cover most of their
faces this tragedy was going to ruin
their lives but here is what we don't
hear enough of facts
Corbett 19 has a much higher recovery
rate than we think
with over 98% of patients recovering and
for this group of friends a hundred
percent of them recovered 17 out of 17
of them healed from coronavirus that is
incredible in no time they went back to
living their lives normally full of
energy and gratitude as a days went by I
realized that I would
because I felt stronger upon time
physically emotionally I didn't feel
that I was dying is that I was feeling
that I was recovering and growing
stronger by the day now they are
donating their blood for medical
research because of their donations we
can develop vaccines to save everybody
else if you're worried about coronavirus
right now tell your friends about these
people they are not just survivors they
are a source of hope for a future
without coronavirus see you next week
what's your message to the world my
message to the world be socially
responsible and have hope in your heart
hope of your faith hope for your family
hope for your country and hope for the
whole world to overcome this virus
together
