Meet Jay: He is 34 years old and in very good physical and mental health. He’s not under the care of a doctor for any health issues. I’ve known the owner-operator since fall 2018.
He wants his experience with COVID-19 to be known so that you better understand one thing about this new virus: This can happen to anyone. (For privacy reasons, Jay didn’t want to be identified with his full name.)
I talked to Jay 15 days after he fell ill in his truck while finishing up a delivery at 4 a.m., on March 20. “I need to get parked and rest,” he thought as the load was coming off the truck. He “didn’t realize until later how much this illness had affected my ability to focus and make decisions.”
