A 39-year-old coronavirus patient, who could hardly breathe, posted a stark video from the ICU

to warn people who think it won't happen to them

A 39-year-old woman being treated for the coronavirus made a harrowing video from her hospital bed in an intensive care unit, aimed at "anyone who's thinking of taking any chances."

In the video, which has spread widely on social media, Tara Jane Langston showed viewers the two tubes in her arms and the breathing tube she was using, gasping for breath as she spoke.

Since making the video she has partially recovered and has been moved out of the ICU.

Describing her state, she told MailOnline: "It's like having glass in your lungs."

This makes me wonder - why is it that the Fox News-watching, Donald Trump-humping Reicht Wing fanatics BELIEVE everything is a "hoax" or an attempt to make Trump 'look bad' (which he does just fine on his own)?

If he says the Corona Virus Pandemic was a hoax - and it is CLEARLY 100% NOT A HOAX - then why do they not question his other statements of lie?

He DID sexually assault women and brag about it.
He DID receive aid from Russian sources in the 2016 election.
He DID obstruct justice on 10 counts during the Mueller probe.
He DID blackmail the Ukraine to manufacture dirt on Biden.

He is guilty of projection constantly.
He lies about EVERYTHING, habitually.

And yet, they STILL believe him and adore him and celebrate him...I can't understand it.
It makes no sense at all...

That will keep cabin fever off for a couple weeks.

I hope that wonderful lady gets better soon and reunites with her children.

2 tubes in her arms? IV’s.

A breathing tube? All she has is a nasal cannula which can only be used up to 6 liters of O2 per minute. If she had a “breathing tube” she would be unable to speak. This seems sensationalist.
