44-Year-Old Coronavirus Survivor Shares What It Was Like Fighting The Disease

Like Michael Bane’s story showed, COVID-19 can threaten even the healthiest of us. Such was also the case with David Lat, a high-profile lawyer and former federal prosecutor. The coronavirus attacked Lat with all of its might, and the 44-year-old couldn’t beat it on his own. Severe breathing problems, insanely high fevers, and other symptoms got him hospitalized.

But his struggles didn’t end there. Lat was even admitted to the intensive care unit where he was really fighting for his life. When he was on a ventilator and in a “very serious” condition, his husband, Zachary Baron Shemtob, told CNN, “One of the hardest parts here is we can’t visit him. It’s really tough.”

Luckily, Lat pulled through. After he got better, the man shared all the things he went through when fighting the coronavirus to show that it’s no joke.
