Joseph Flavill has been in a coma for the past ten months. He only recently woke up. And he had no idea about the virus – even though he was infected twice, according to BBC News.
Wait, what happened?
Joseph Flavill, a 19-year-old boy, fell into a coma after being hit by a car in March 2020, just before his first in England.
- “It’s almost like he’s slept through the whole pandemic,” his aunt, Sally Flavill-Smith, told Staffordshire Live.
Flavill only recently woke up. But he knew nothing of the coronavirus pandemic.
- According to CNN, the UK had only 23 cases of the coronavirus during the March 1 Flavill crash. Most cases were in China. There was also one death in the United States at the time.
Reaction
- “If he comes out of this, life will not be the way he knows it to be,” Flavill’s other aunt, Kate Yarbo, told CNN. How do you describe it?
- “I think it’s going to be a shock. We’re all still processing it – I’m not sure you can ever describe how this pandemic feels. ”
- “We are also very excited to report that Joseph has slowly begun to emerge from his coma-two-coma, and is beginning to respond to simple commands and stimulation,” the family wrote on the website Joseph’s Journey, which is dedicated to his recovery.
