“If you think the corona virus is nonsense, come and see my son,” Emile Collin writes on Facebook. Damien has been in the intensive care ward since Thursday night. “He’s been fighting a hyperreaction to this damn virus for several days that he would have contracted a month ago. As a parent, it is terrible to see your child suffer. His fight can last for months. He’s super brave, my little man. I’m proud of him, but I’d rather take his place … Please take care of yourself, protect yourself and protect the others. This virus attacks everyone, even children. ”
