A 43-year-old California man has shared a shocking photo of the toll the coronavirus has taken on his strapping body – turning it into an emaciated shell during his six-week stay in a hospital, according to a report.

Mike Schultz, 43, a nurse from San Francisco with no underlying health conditions, weighed about 190 pounds when he pumped iron almost every day, according to BuzzFeed News.

But after dropping 50 pounds amid the ravages of COVID-19, Schultz decided to share two images to his 30,000 Instagram followers – one taken about a month before he fell ill, the other snapped at a Boston hospital.

“I wanted to show it can happen to anyone It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, have pre-existing conditions or not. It can affect you,” Schultz told BuzzFeed.

“I knew what I thought going in [about the coronavirus]. I didn’t think it was as serious as it was until after things started happening,” he said. “I thought I was young enough for it not to affect me, and I know a lot of people think that.

Schultz said he was exhausted just standing up briefly to take the harrowing photo.

“I was so weak. This was one of the most frustrating parts,” he told the news outlet. “I couldn’t hold my cellphone — it was so heavy. I couldn’t type, because my hands shook so much.”

Schultz, who went to the hospital on March 16, also had completely lost track of time, saying: “I thought only a week had gone by.”

He arrived in Boston to visit his boyfriend, Josh Hebblethwaite, 29, on March 14 — a week after they had traveled to Miami Beach for a festival where at least 38 people later tested positive for the illness and three men died, BuzzFeed reported.

“We knew it was out there,” Schultz said. “There were no real restrictions in place, though. No lockdowns. We just thought, ‘Well, we gotta wash our hands more and be wary of touching our face.’”

A couple of days after arriving in Beantown, Schultz began feeling very sick and headed to a hospital. He had a 103-degree fever and his lungs were filled with liquid.

“They took him right in and didn’t let me stay to say goodbye,” Hebblethwaite said.

Wow. This virus is terrible.

Yet some people have it and are asymptomatic. Others have it and get over it without any special medication.

It must be the GMO foodstuff they stuff their bellies with.

May God continue to help us.

There is nothing shocking about this. Any serious sickness can cause a person to lose weight. This just shows that what the man had beneath his skin was fat and not muscle.

They fed him through the tube attached to his belly.
And gave air directly to his lungs via the hole in his neck

When you were injecting steroids you should have known the repercussions. He's a bodybuilder and would bounce back when he starts pounding weights again.

The virus took closer to 20 pounds of flesh. Scary pathogen for sure.

His muscle mass likely saved him. If one rake-thin Akinloju in this country catches the virus na death sure pass.
