picture of athlete: before and after COVID-19

Ahmad Ayyad was 215lbs of muscle on a solid 6'1' frame prior to testing positive with COVID-19 on March 15. By the time he would be discharged from the Johns Hopkins Hospital on April 22, he would lose 60lbs

Shocking before and after photos of a strapping 40-year-old athlete who was placed in a coma for 25 days after testing positive for the coronavirus show how even the fittest people are having to fight for their lives when tackling the killer virus.

Ahmad Ayyad was 215lbs of muscle on a solid 6'1' frame prior to testing positive for COVID-19 on March 15.

By the time he was discharged from the Johns Hopkins Hospital more than a month later on April 22, he had lost 60lbs.

-------

The man was discharged from John Hopkins on April 22 with a blood clot on his left arm and damage to his lungs and heart. He has been gradually putting back on the weight that he lost.

Ayyad wanted to immediately move in with his parents once discharged, but Dr. Liu advised against the gesture - stressing that the patient self-isolate for two weeks first.
