2020 has been a tough year so far. And it’s far from over. There are now over 33.6 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 worldwide and we’ve passed a grim and sobering milestone: there have been more than 1 million coronavirus-related deaths. However, there’s still hope.
More than 23.4 million people have been confirmed to have recovered. Which is great news. Though weary and exhausted, coronavirus survivors are heading back home to their families and are trying to get on with their lives. Bored Panda has collected some of the most inspiring photos of these brave Covid-19 survivors. The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said that the million coronavirus deaths were mind-numbing. “We must never lose sight of each and every individual life. They were fathers and mothers, wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, friends, and colleagues. The pain has been multiplied by the savageness of this disease,” Guterres said in a video message.
Bored Panda reached out to redditor Justcallmeseech whose dad, a former US Marine, fully recovered after battling Covid-19 for a month. “My dad is feeling back to normal! I felt so relieved and thankful to see that my dad has fully recovered. He was out of work for a month. He originally thought it was the flu but the way he endured it, it felt a lot worse than the regular flu,” the redditor, who is in the military himself, revealed. Read on for our full interview with Justcallmeseech to learn about his dad’s symptoms and what coronavirus-deniers should know.

#5 What Mike Schultz Looked Like After Battling Covid-19 For 6 Weeks In The Hospital
I wanted to show everyone how badly being sedated for 6 weeks on a ventilator or intubated can be. Amongst other things, Covid-19 reduced my lung capacity with pneumonia. Over 8 weeks I’ve been away from family and friends, getting stronger every day and working to increase my lung capacity. I’ll get back to where I was in healthier ways this time…. Maybe even do cardio.

#26 I Survived Covid-19
I was shocked to have gone through this process because I’m fairly educated on this topic, meaning I took it very seriously. I haven’t eaten at a restaurant since March, declined invitations to outings, haven’t traveled, distanced myself from loved ones, haven’t seen my friends since March, wore a mask at all times, disinfected my items, & took care of my body. Yet, here I was laying in a hospital bed ALONE feeling like I was dying. Please take this seriously. I would hate for you to be in that hospital bed with your lungs collapsing or you bringing this upon someone.

I am thankful to be about 85% better but I still have symptoms that are pretty limiting. I have come a long way and to be honest it’s been a really exhausting road.
