Travis Campbell, a 43-year-old father and husband from Bristol, Virginia, has been in the hospital for two weeks now with COVID-19. Campbell has been fighting for his life while posting videos describing his experience on his Facebook page. Both Travis Campbell and his wife Kellie Campbell contracted COVID-19 in late July. ABC News reports that Kellie Campbell had been hospitalized with the virus but has since recovered. Unfortunately, Travis has continued to get worse. Kellie says that the experience has been a nightmare. “He started in a regular room, and then he went to a Covid ICU room, and now he's in the pulmonary ICU.”
Alternating between posting text and videos, Travis Campbell says he hopes his terrible experience, regardless of the outcome, can have the silver lining of making more people aware of how important it is not to wait to get vaccinated. Campbell’s declining health, chronicled by a man who says he made a mistake by putting off getting vaccinated, is very tough to watch.
