Covid and Me Tim Piccirillo

In a detailed first-person account, Tim Piccirillo takes readers into the frontlines of a Covid-19 unit, where he came close to death battling one of the worst viruses in the last 100 years. He explains his treatment from specialists and caregivers who put their lives on the line daily caring for Covid patients, as well as imparting how these healthcare heroes felt about their jobs and the deadly threat of the virus. He details what was known at the time of his hospitalization about Covid-19, as well as how treatment options progressed in the first year of Covid's worldwide spread. He also delves into the politics of the pandemic with the political upheaval going on in the United States during an election year and the gross mishandling of the pandemic by the Trump administration. Piccirillo chronicles everything from conspiracy theories, to ignorance and the blatant manipulation of facts surrounding treatment, lockdowns and school and business shutdowns to show why a country with only 4% of the world's population has 20% of the deaths from Covid-19. And finally, Piccirillo shows readers what aided his healing from mindset principles learned early in his life to surrendering completely to the virus, that allowed him to fully recover. This book is a whirlwind ride into the world of someone who battled a severe case of Covid amid the political and cultural upheaval in the most powerful nation in the world during the worst pandemic in a century. A must-read for anyone who wants an inside look at what Covid-19 is really like.
