TORONTO -- A New York pastor is warning others to take COVID-19 seriously after spending 54 days on a ventilator and more than six weeks in a medically induced coma after contracting the disease.released Thursday by Mount Sinai Hospital, Pastor Benjamin Thomas asks others to wear face masks and follow physical distancing measures after he says he lost over 22 kilograms and all of his muscle while battling the novel coronavirus.

Thomas, who is the pastor at Queens Church of God, was released from Mount Sinai on July 2 after spending over 100 days at the hospital.Thomas said thankfully none of his organs were affected by the virus except for his lungs."I really just told God there was nothing else I can offer him, he's got to take over," Dr. Robin Varghese said in the video.

However, by the middle of May, Varghese said Thomas was making "slow, very slow but steady progress" in recovering from the illness. Thomas is now back at his home in East Meadow, Long Island but still needs supplemental oxygen to breathe. Varghese said he will need the extra oxygen for a few weeks after his lungs were "ravaged by the COVID-19 virus."
