A man in the United States, who laughed at the Corona19 virus as "fake," shed tears of regret only after he and his wife were infected.

Foreign news sources, such as WPTV, reported on Wednesday that local carpool driver Brian Hitchins, who posted several posts on the social media to guide the authorities, was finally confirmed by Corona 19.

From March to early April, Hitchins has steadily insisted on his SNS that "Corona 19 is not serious." He said, "No matter how dangerous the virus is, I believe God is greater, so I am not afraid at all." He said, "People wearing masks and gloves seem to have 'hystery.'"


However, in a post posted by Mr. Hitchins on the 19th of last month, a different atmosphere was found. It was somber, saying, "I'm not at home for more than a week. I'm at home. My wife and I are both sick. I don't have any strength and I just want to sleep." The next day, Mr. Hitchins and his wife were confirmed by Corona19 and were admitted to the hospital side by side.

Hitchins on the 12th, the third week of fighting, posted a long post that started with the words, "Many people still believe that the coronavirus is fake and I did it once." After changing his attitude by 180 degrees, he appealed to the people, "Please listen to the words of the authorities and experts and put on a mask. That's how wise people respond in a disaster."

Hitchins has been shown to have symptoms of pneumonia caused by corona19, but his life is not impaired, but his wife is known to show signs of improvement as the condition worsens. "I have never met my wife in the intensive care unit after I got to the hospital," Hitchins cried in an interview with a local press.


"When I look back, I had to wear a mask from the beginning. I don't think I'll pay for it like this," he regretted. "I hope people don't go through the same tragedy with stupid thoughts like me." He is now sending a message to people through SNS to remind them of the seriousness of Corona 19.
