During a virtual appearance on "CBS This Morning" Thursday, Kloots said Cordero's blood count dropped "really, really low," suggesting there may be internal bleeding.

"Today was supposed to be putting in a trach (breathing tube) and a feeding tube," Kloots told anchor Gayle King over video chat. "Unfortunately, this morning, his blood count was really, really low. Low blood count can mean that he’s internally bleeding from somewhere, so now we have to wait."

In my county, four people have died from covid19, one of the dead was a 1 year old child.

There is something about this virus that is capable of killing anyone, once it finds a weakness in their body and/or immune system.

Sadly, it will be a real life miracle for Mr. Cordero to survive this.
