Paulo Santos of Manalapan had just come off of a ventilator on his 39th birthday last April 7 and was too weak to talk, but this weekend, he plans to run 20 miles. The timeframe I was on a ventilator, the world had literally changed in that three-week span, Santos said.
It had turned into a world of lockdowns and a raging pandemic.
Santos was an early COVID patient. He was admitted to CentraState Medical Center on March 17 and transferred a week later to Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
