      A Covid-19 survivor came out of a coma after 65 days. Now she supports vaccinations


      After spending two months in a coma due to Covid-19 earlier this year, a California woman is urging people to get vaccinated.

      Andrea Arriaga Borges of Cameron Park was unvaccinated when she got sick with Covid-19. The mother of five tested positive in May 2021 and wound up in the emergency room days later.

      "I was in a coma for 65 days. I spent a total of four-and-a-half months in the hospital." "I couldn't walk. I lost my motor skills and my muscle, dropped about 35 pounds, and came home in a wheelchair; re-learned how to walk again."

      The United States broke its average daily case record again Sunday, with 403,385 infections, according to an analysis of Johns Hopkins University data. Hospitalizations are on the rise, but the peak from last January was 54% higher, according to data from the US Department of Health and Human Services.

      While Arriaga Borges, 48, has had a remarkable recovery, the effects of Covid stay with her, like her "raspy voice" that she has from a tracheotomy, she said. For months she was on a feeding tube and could not talk, she added.

      "The doctors told my children, my sister, my husband that I had, like, a 5% chance of survival," Arriaga Borges said. She beat the odds and went home August 29.

      Arriaga Borges had previously been "against" vaccination, she said. When asked what her thinking behind that was, Arriaga Borges said she was healthy with no underlying health issues. She never smoked and had no heart or lung problems.

      "I thought I was going to be sick for four or five days and then be fine, and that's not how it went," she said.

      After her brush with death, Arriaga Borges is urging people to get vaccinated.

      "I don't want anyone to go through what I went through," she said. "The only thing I can say is just have an extra layer of protection and get vaccinated. Get the booster. I feel like everyone should have a choice, but at the same time it's about protecting yourself and others."

        Well I can't think mommies would name their babies Copier Addict.. good catch.

              copier addict,


              slim made you look like an idiot when he pointed out that you nicknamed yourself "copier addict".

              He put you in a clown suit and sold tickets. LMAO.

                        But you can't use your mommie given name?

                        Hiding something?

                        Afraid someone knows the REAL YOU and afraid that someone will dump you in?
