In his feature article, he mentioned a slew of things that he has extracted from his own experience in battling COVID-19. Among these messages include being transparent of one’s health condition, attaining mental balance in the midst of the disease, and that getting COVID-19 is not a “death sentence.” Moreover, he also mentioned how frontliners should be treated as today’s heroes. On top of that, he also gave out some tips on how to keep the so-called social connection in spite of the distancing.

He also mentioned in his post how he is willing to donate antibodies in his blood in an effort to help other patients who wish to fully recover from the infection.

“I’ll be glad to donate this accidental gift,” he said. “It’s a small price for all survivors to pay for the chance to see the sun again.”

Further, he said he holds gratitude to the medical team who took care of him during the entire confinement.
