“It turned out that I still have Covid-19 after five weeks and that they have settled in my lungs. That is why now I have heavier breathing and this devilish cough. I get tired of the slightest effort,” Charlie continues in his Facebook post.
He goes on to describe it as the virus has broken down his body and doctors cannot answer how long he will be sick.
Ship soon
The 29-year-old has run the non-profit organization “Never Alone” since 2013, which started after he suffered a depression himself. The organization is aimed at people with suicidal thoughts and works to prevent suicide.

“Keep your distance. Wash your hands. Get in touch with your loved ones.”
