A young, fit nurse shared alarming before-and-after photos showing the impact the coronavirus had on his body
- Mike Schultz, a 43-year-old nurse from San Francisco, is one of 38 people thought to have contracted the novel coronavirus after attending the Winter Party Festival in Miami in early March.
- Schultz dropped to 140 pounds from 190 during his six-week hospital stay, which he showcased on Instagram in a before-and-after comparison post.
- Schultz, a normally healthy and fit person with no underlying conditions, told BuzzFeed News he was shocked by how COVID-19 affected his body.
- "I didn't think it was as serious as it was until after things started happening," he told BuzzFeed News. "I thought I was young enough for it not to affect me, and I know a lot of people think that."
Schultz thought being young and having no underlying conditions would protect him from the virus
