Lilia Cervantes, one of the researchers, said before they got sick many felt COVID didn’t exist or they didn’t trust information about the virus. “And after being hospitalized, felt like, ‘Wow, yes, I had COVID. I was really sick. I saw other people that had COVID and were also really sick.’ This thing is real,” said Cervantes, an associate professor in the department of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
