Summary

Actor Brad Schmidt lived through an extremely scary coronavirus experience that started with the chills and some common cold symptoms, and quickly devolved into double pneumonia, oxygen treatment, and a harrowing 7-day stay in the hospital. The otherwise healthy actor details the trouble he had getting tested, the doctor's reluctance to admit him to the hospital, and why no one is immune to severity of COVID19. Plus, Lala and Randall share how they've been passing time during the #StayHome order! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
