Gus Pekara Survived COVID 19

Gus posted the following on his Facebook page:
"It took 13 days to get test results. It’s official, I had COVID 19. I had a miserable 10 days of every symptom imaginable. Now I’m 6 days fever-free. Thank God, Emily had never exhibited symptoms. She was my care-giving angel. And thanks to Dr. Stephen Hopkins for keeping in touch daily."

"NewView had to cancel it’s annual OKC fundraiser and now they’re in desperate need of funds to keep blind and visually impaired individuals working and independent."

He and Emily live in Oklahoma City, OK.

Stay well out there.
