Finally, a good news about COVID-19.
Reader Bao: The Circuit Breaker is lifted?!
No, not yet. But the Bangladeshi worker who had been in ICU for more than two months have moved out of ICU, which means we’ve just shown the middle finger to COVID-19 that’s trying to wreak havoc in our society.
Bangladeshi Worker Who Was in ICU Due to COVID-19 Now Out of ICU
About two months, it was revealed that a 39-year-old Bangladesh national, who was part of the Seletar Aerospace Heights construction site cluster, was in critical condition.
Back then, it was said that he had not been responding to the medicine given to him.
The man has underlying health conditions before getting infected; according to the Bangladesh Foreign Minister, he had been suffering from respiratory and kidney disease.
During his stay in ICU, it was also revealed that his wife had given birth to a baby boy in Bangladesh, and a donation drive was set up for his wife and the baby.
Today, the Migrant Workers’ Centre posted an update about his condition on their Facebook Page, saying that the man is finally taken off the ventilator and is no longer sedated.
He’s now able to breathe on his own and has been transferred out of ICU to a general ward.
If that’s not a middle finger to COVID-19, I don’t know what is.
Migrant Workers’ Centre also thanks all well-wishers and benefactors for their prayers and contributions during the worker’s time in hospital.
Here’s the post:
In case you can’t read it:
We are thrilled to update all concerned followers of the condition of COVID-19 Case #42 that he has been taken off the ventilator and is no longer sedated. He is able to breathe on his own and will require speech therapy moving forward as part of his recovery process. As of this evening, Case #42 has been transferred out of ICU and into the general ward to continue his recuperation and recovery. The MWC has tracked this case closely for more than 2 months now and in the process has grown close to both the worker’s family and his employer. We have spoken with the family and the employer regarding this very encouraging and happy development and can report that all concerned are overjoyed. On behalf of the family and the employer the MWC would like to thank all well-wishers and benefactors for their prayers and contributions during the worker’s time in hospital. We want to record our deepest gratitude, respect and esteem for the medical professionals who have cared for our brother throughout his hospital stay and made his progress so far possible! Kudos to our wonderful doctors and nurses!
In particular, we are inspired by Case #42’s fighting spirit throughout this lengthy ordeal and thank him for prevailing and getting better.
This is probably one of the few good news coming out from the outbreak so far, so let’s hope for more goody news.
