Married teachers in Georgia both get COVID-19, husband now on life support

Husband and wife teachers in Georgia both contracted the coronavirus — and one of them is now on life support,Priscella Key and Patrick Key both teach in Cobb County public schools and tested positive a week ago. Priscella Key told WXIA that she is recovering at home, but Patrick Key, 52, is on a ventilator in the intensive care unit at a hospital in Marietta, Georgia.

She says the staff in the ICU has been helping them stay in contact on the occasions he's awake by using video calls, and he's been communicating with sign language and finger spelling. “Yesterday, a large group of teachers and their families came to our house to help take care of yard work that needed to be done," Key told WXIA."It took one more worry off of our plate. Patrick is a person that will do anything to help someone without ever asking for something in return."

According to an update posted to a GoFundMe page for the couple's medical expenses, doctors briefly removed his ventilator on Tuesday, allowing him to breathe on his own for four hours.

I hate that those on the front line for all of us and our youngsters become the most vulnerable. We have to protect them b

Sad, absolutely. But news?

I wish them well and a return to good health.

This report has been factchecked and is false.

Prayers and hugs from two married NC teachers 🙏🏻

The worst part of getting this illness is that when you go to the hospital (because you’re seriously ill), no one can come with you or visit you. You’re facing a life-threatening illness totally alone. 😭 We need to all remember that every time we act in our own self-interests.

Heartbreaking. 💔

I dont believe a word you write.

Get well soon. My wife and I are teachers in Idaho who are both recovering.

don’t ask the right to care. but the rest of us do. this is heartbreaking

This should not be. Steps could, and should have been taken to protect all of us. Heartbreaking. Sorry just isn't enough.

He needs Regeneron fast.
