Jeremy McWilliams is the newest name in the world of motorcycle racing to be added as a victim of a Covid-19 infection. The veteran of all the battles on the track recognizes that it is difficult to fight, which is confirmed by Fausto Gresini, whose condition remains serious...
Jeremy McWilliams surprised everyone on the social network with this confession: “ I'm recovering from Covid-19 ". The Belfast native thus communicated that he had almost completed his recovery process, after testing positive for the virus a few weeks ago. It was during the holiday season.
He writes thus: “ update on my recovery for those who are interested. By the second week I was feeling better, but I would like to taste or smell something again. Fortunately, I'm 100% except for the taste and smell “, Jeremy wrote on Twitter.
During his career, Jeremy McWilliams experienced the most varied adventures. He raced in the 500 category, then in the 250, without forgetting his appearance in MotoGP first with the Proton KR then with Aprilia. After an interlude of road racing, in 2014 he returned to Moto2 racing at the Silverstone Grand Prix, aged 50.
For its part, Fausto Gresini is still battling the Coronavirus since December 26, and he remains in serious condition. The Aprilia Team Manager is still hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Maggiore Carlo Alberto Pizzardi Hospital in Bologna.
Jeremy McWilliams: “I would like to taste or smell something again”
The latest bulletin published by Doctor Nicola Cilloni speaks of serious conditions and necessary mechanical ventilation. Gresini remains sedated most of the time to allow the mechanical ventilator to function properly, but when he is periodically awakened, he is conscious and combative.
Doctor Nicola Cilloni commented on his patient on Fausto Gresini : " Fausto's general conditions are unfortunately still serious. The lungs badly affected by disease and overlapping infection are unable to give oxygen to the blood on their own and are aided by the mechanical ventilation machine. It is still necessary to keep Fausto asleep most of the time to allow the mechanical fan to function properly. When he is awakened periodically, he is conscious and combative ».
Covid recovery update for those who may be interested, not many I'd expect.
I'd love to be able to smell a fart nearly 4 weeks on the other side of this. Not yours obviously.— Jeremy McWilliams (@McWill99) January 20, 2021
