Preparing for a Funeral but It Was a 'Wedding'... British Woman Who Had No Consciousness Due to COVID-19 Miraculously Wakes Up
[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] The story of a British woman who fell into a coma after testing positive for COVID-19 and dramatically recovered has been revealed.
According to foreign media reports on the 18th (local time), Christine Smith (36), who tested positive for COVID-19 last month, experienced a rapid deterioration in her condition as soon as she was admitted to the hospital. She could not breathe without a ventilator and eventually lost consciousness, being transferred to the intensive care unit.
When Christine did not regain consciousness after several days, the medical staff told her family, "The coma is expected to last about 10 days," and warned, "The situation may worsen. If she does not recover, we must prepare for the worst."
However, on the fourth day of her hospitalization, Christine suddenly woke up. Although she had no awareness of what day it was or how long she had been hospitalized, she clearly expressed the desire to "call her mother."
The family was overjoyed by the miraculous news, and all the nurses at the hospital applauded Christine's recovery.
Additionally, Christine's boyfriend, Mark Squires, said, "I thought I was going to lose you to COVID-19," and proposed to her. Christine, who had fallen into a coma due to COVID-19 and was almost prepared for a funeral, is now preparing for a wedding with her boyfriend.

I realized how lucky I was," emphasizing, "I hope people do not take COVID-19 lightly."
