The patient’s journey started with a low-grade fever and body aches.  When he woke up that morning, his back hurt.  As the day wore on, he proceeded to feel worse, developing body aches and nausea. By Wednesday March 19th, he had developed a horrible cough and diarrhea. Four days after showing symptoms, Conrad was finally able to get a drive through test for Covid-19, where he was swabbed and told to self-quarantine. On March 21st, Conrad received his results: he had tested positive for Covid 19. By that evening, he was so sore from coughing and body aches that he couldn’t physically get himself to the bathroom. His wife told us that she knew it was time to take him to the hospital: “By Sunday, I could tell his breathing was just getting tougher for him. I kept telling him we should go in, and he was telling me he was so scared to go in. But his pulse was low and I knew I had to take him in. That night, Conrad had a pulmonary embolism, which affected his lungs and the right side of the heart. On Thursday, the nurse called me, told me his oxygen level had gone down to 40, and they were pushing epi every 10 minutes to keep his heart going. He had brain damage. Conrad died that day at 5:45 p.m.  Full case - https://medium.com/wake-up-call/i-lost-my-husband-to-covid-19-d6c41240a461.
