Willy McCue was in critical condition for more than a month in Rockland, New York, after he was hospitalized with the flu.

A side effect was pneumonia, a pulmonary infection that led to septic shock, destroying the tissues on the legs and arms of the guy. As a result, the doctors had to undergo extensive amputations.

In addition, a young man has a damaged liver and kidneys.

Despite the fact that the former high school athlete is recovering, it is possible that he may need some more operations.

Former football coach McCue created a page GoFundMewhich collected almost 90 000 dollars to recover it.

In the fire service, where he was a volunteer, it was reported that a special uniform and a helmet were waiting for McKu when he was ready to return to work.

МакКью — не единственный человек, который пострадал от сепсиса, связанного с пневмонией, в этом году.

In March, the mother of six children had to amputate her arms and legs after a common cold, which ended in life-threatening pneumonia and blood infection.
