The saying "love knows no bounds" proved true for one South Carolina couple after a 43-year-old man who contracted the coronavirus and was subsequently hospitalized for two months said his wife’s voice helped him through a coma.
In July, Don Gillmer tested positive for COVID-19. A few days after the positive test result he was hospitalized — and remained so for more than 60 days.
Gillmer told local news station WYFF that he received convalescent plasma twice during his hospital stay, as well as the antiviral remdesevir, which has been found to be effective in reducing the time to recovery for COVID-19 patients who are hospitalized.
