Tinalo ng dating ‘world’s heaviest man' na si Juan Pedro Franco ang Coronavirus sa tulong umano ng tamang pagda-diet at ehersisyo.
Ang 36-year-old Mexican na si Franco ay certified Guinness World Records holder noong 2017 dahil sa dating timbang nitong 595 kilos (1,310 pounds). Ngayon ay 208 kilos na lamang ang kanyang timbang.
Dahil sa history ng pagkakaroon ng diabetes, high blood pressure at chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, saad ni Franco, "It's a very aggressive disease. I had a headache, body ache, breathing difficulty, a fever. I was a very high-risk person.”
Pahayag naman ng isa sa mga doktor na gumamot kay Franco na si Jose Antonio Castaneda, "Patients who are diabetic, have hypertension and heart disease are more susceptible to serious complications.
"Their chances of pulling through are very slim. This patient, who was once too heavy to get out of bed, was an exception."
