In Rich Sena's close-to-the-heart memoir, readers experience the difficult times, struggles, and impact having COVID alongside the author. This book deals with the pains and joys of surviving a deadly virus. "It couldn't happen to me." Rich Sena's thoughts were aligned with most middle-aged healthy Americans. In July 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic still loomed down everyone's necks, but after a year of the pandemic ravaging the country, no more shutdowns, and lifted mask mandates, there seemed to be less and less of a chance to contract a truly strong strain. After all, Rich had just run a 5K two months before and was preparing to open a restaurant he was going to manage-he didn't have time for COVID-19. Unfortunately, Rich discovered the deadly virus doesn't discriminate, back down, or consider a busy person's schedule and he ended up in the hospital. Over 18 months and five surgeries, Rich fought tooth and nail to beat COVID-19-and won. In his debut book and tell-all memoir COVID-19: My Battle With COVID and How I Survived, Rich walks readers through his struggle with COVID Delta, taking a step-by-step, epistolary approach and including real photos and text messages from his experience. COVID-19 is a memoir health professionals, other COVID-19 survivors, and nonfiction readers will enjoy. Rich's enthralling narrative gives life to the struggles he faced and brings readers into close confidence.
