A teenager in the UK gained consciousness after he had been in a coma for the past 11 months. After waking up, he doesn’t even realise how the corona pandemic has changed the whole world. Notably, the 19-year-old also got positive tested twice in his coma.
Joseph Flaville, a 19-year-old student, had been in a coma for the past 11 months. According to the report, Joseph was hit by a car in the town of Staffordshire. He was then admitted to Leicester General Hospital. Joseph’s health is said to have deteriorated considerably in the accident and was in a coma. At that time, the coronavirus did not begin to wreak havoc on the world.
But, now, when he opened his eyes 11 months later, the whole world has changed. Waking up, he didn’t have any news at all about how the world has changed in these 11 months.
Daily Mail reports that due to COVID restrictions, his family can’t visit him and they are communicating through Facetime, to which his Aunt said that, his face lights up when he sees his friends and family on the phone. She added that his accident was before the pandemic began and ‘it’s almost like he slept through the whole pandemic’, she wonders how one can explain the pandemic to someone who has been in a coma.
The Sun reports that his aunt Sally Flavvill said that he is progressing well and has taken ‘amazing steps’ and has started moving his limbs when he is instructed to and trying to engage with blinks and smiles. She shared that when he opened his eyes, he wasn’t responding to anything but over the last few weeks he’s taken amazing steps and is making really good progress.
