From Strong to Sick

As an emergency responder, Chad Arcaba knew that being
exposed to COVID-19 was inevitable. What the Elyria firefighter
didn’t know is how hard it would hit him, especially since he’s only
37 and works out regularly.

At first, he had just a mild temperature and loss of taste. “But it got
worse,” says Chad, who lives on a South Amherst farm that he works
with his dad. “I had a massive headache that lasted for days. I was
wiped out.”

Now, two months later, Chad hasn’t fully recovered. As part of
his training, he has to pass a fitness test. Normally, that’s
no problem for the father of two. “But I went running
yesterday, and I thought I was going to die,” he says.

While he is confident he’ll eventually recover, it’s been
tougher than he imagined. And he has a message for
those who think they’re too young or too strong to
get sick: The risk is real. With a vaccine right around
the corner, now is not the time to take your foot off
the gas. Wear your mask and keep your distance.
