Related: About this forum(Pa) "They fed me through my stomach for weeks --" COVID-afflicted resident
Spaghetti dinner to benefit COVID-afflicted residentPUNXSUTAWNEY A group of family and friends will be holding a benefit dinner at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Oliver Township fire hall for Charles Schantz, a Ringgold, PA, resident who contracted and nearly died from pneumonia as a result of COVID-19.
Im getting better, but its a long road; I have some scar tissue on my lungs, Schantz said, adding that hes still on oxygen and has had to learn to walk and eat again.
Schantz said he went to the hospital in April and had to be on a breathing tube.
They fed me through my stomach for weeks while I was on a ventilator, Schantz said.

I do think it helps for people to see examples of people who survived COVID but will have some level of disability for the rest of their lives. Let them be reminder of the price many are paying because they weren't responsible or sane enough to get vaccinated. By the way, this blurb from the link is the entire story in the paper.
