After she was wrongly diagnosed with the flu, Marisa beat COVID-19 then donated her plasma to help others. PHILADELPHIA - When Marisa Leuzzi first visited her doctor back in March, she was wrongly diagnosed with the flu.
She believed there was something else going on. Leuzzi became her own advocate, believing that she had the coronavirus and eventually went to a testing site to try to confirm her suspicions. “It was very hard to get tested due to the shortage of tests, I grew up with asthma so because of all the severe symptoms with respiratory issues, I wanted to get tested because of peace of mind,” said Leuzzi during an appearance on Good Day Philadelphia.
