These are statements to the Hoy por hoy program, from the Archenero infectious disease specialist and head of Infectious Diseases at the ‘Ramón y Cajal’ hospital in Madrid, Santiago Moreno, who today participated in a gathering to speak in first person about the effects of covid-19
Santiago Moreno Guillén has participated as a guest in the gathering ‘La Luz’, in Zarandona, and has gone through the microphones of Day by day, where he has talked about how COVID-19 happened, from which he was infected while on the front line of battle.

The infectologist has remembered those days with the effects of COVID-19 as a flu multiplied by 1,000. “I felt like I had been beaten up and all my bones were broken.

The Archenero doctor has commented that other colleagues were infected with him, who managed to come out of the disease a few days later. But, “my case got complicated and I still don’t really know why.” What is clear -he said- “that in a matter of hours your life changes, and to find you perfectly; It happened to me when I got to the hospital that I was feeling very well. To change everything in a few hours and feel that you can die, “she confessed.
