Spencer Rollyson says he didn't think much of it when he experienced mild coronavirus symptoms in May. Weeks later, the disease almost took his life.

"I never thought, at 21, I would be on the verge of death," he said.cold, he said, and the symptoms lasted for a few days.Rollyson said he went to the emergency room with adoctors conducted several tests including chest X-rays and CT scans to find the root of the problem. Everything came back clear, he says, but within 48 hours Rollyson was in the ICU.

Rollyson said doctors told him his body went into hyperactive mode trying to fight off coronavirus before he suffered heart failure, acute respiratory failure and severe sepsis. Weeks since his recovery, Rollyson's heart rate is still monitored and he's still on medication for his blood pressure. He says doctors have told him the medications will likely continue for at least another year.

"It almost took my life a month ago," he said. "So it is not something to play around with. Just be safe, wear your masks, wash your hands."

Is there a chance his organs would've failed, regardless of the virus?

This doesnt look like a healthy 21 year old... so no surprise. If you are 150 lbs over weight bad things can happen

Looks like a treadmill would have given him the same issue.

Like every death or near death occurrence due to Covid we say its, covid. If I had an underlying health issue and got the flu, the health care system would say I died due to my condition, not FLU. I would like the of deaths from straight up from COVID

So he had organ failure and they called it covid? The ppl are waking up at an alarming rate. Enjoy your propganda while it lasts defundmsm

yay more fear porn from our media that gets 70% of their advertising revenue from big pharma!

He clearly had a pre existing condition; Obesity; which; according to ‘experts’ is a risk factor for severe Covid symptoms

One out of 315 million?

Why is this Covid related? Sorry he is experiencing this but he obviously is not healthy. Obesity, I’m sure, plays a huge role in this.

Wear a mask...distanceing is crucial and wash/sanitize hands frequently......listen to what this young man went through.....this Covid is not a joke people and know no age barrier.....please be respectful of yourself and others....🙏🇨🇦❤️

Holy pre-existing conditions

Optimal vitamin levels kills Corona in its tracks. You become a firewall to the virus.

I'm sure lifestyle has nothing to do with it.

This is 21? He looks twice my age. I’m 28.

Fat lives don't matter. Just read these comments.

LoL ppl ignoring severe illness. Go lick a toilet then Skippy.

He looks 40 no one is surprised

Remember when health was a private matter? I do. How about we SavetheChildren instead and let the adults manage their own health.

Imagine if the mainstream media made a headline out of every outlier flu case. People would be paranoid about the flu as well. As a whole, younger folks are mildly affected by coronavirus, but this doesn't fit the fear and paranoia narrative. FakeNarrative

I wonder if him being obese has anything to do with it? DEFUNDCTV

CNN reprinted used toilet paper story.

Hey Alyssa_Milano Make sure you practice your groans and pain face. This will be what you're pretending to have tomorrow
