A man who spent 64 days in a California hospital while being treated for COVID-19 is sharing his story as a warning for others to take the virus seriously — after he suffered severe complications, including the amputation of most of his fingers. Gregg Garfield and a dozen of his friends contracted the novel coronavirus while on a ski trip in Italy in February. Garfield will bear some lifelong scars from the illness, having undergone the amputation of fingers on both hands – the only challenge he has physically, he said. He had all fingers on his right hand amputated and most of his left hand’s fingers removed.
