A Florida father of six, whosefamily reached out to 169 hospitals before finally finding life-saving care for his serious case of COVID, is home from the hospital.

“My goal is to get hopefully 80% or 90% to where I was,” he said. “[But] they just don’t know enough about this to give any kind of definitive answers.”

A family friend has since set up a GoFundMe page, which will help the Walkers pay for the medical expenses from the care in both Florida and Connecticut.
