“Hi guys, I wanted to let you all now that I’m feeling better now. To sum things up: after 9 days of bad fever and cough, I couldn’t breathe anymore and I had to give up. I’ve been hospitalized at Sant’Anna in Como and now moved to Lanzo D’Intelvi. Pneumonia and obviously positive to COVID-19. I’m now trying and get back on tracks, I’m coming back stronger. Two things, now. Many of you is worried and you all are texting me, but please avoid it. I feel fatigue just trying to text you back. But the most important thing: [Coronavirus] is no joke! Stay home! I’ve been one entire night in the Como’s intensive care and it’s worse than a Dante’s circle of hell. Heartbreaking! Stay home and we’ll get through this together. Last, I want to thank you all the Italian health system, our pride. Now I’m getting some rest. Guard up!”<\/p>\n
