On April 5, 61-year-old Mang Phother felt his breathing getting worse and worse. Two days later he was rushed to a hospital in Paris’ northern suburbs and found himself battling Covid-19 from an intensive care bed.
“I didn’t think I would come out,” he told Reuters as he left the hospital earlier. “Thanks to everybody who brought me the joy of life.”
“To the other patients, stay courageous, keep hope. You’ll get through it with bravery and hope. You’ll make it,” he said.
