A young Englishman fell at the beginning of March 2020 into a coma and wakes up in a world changed by Coronavirus completely. Even he himself was infected twice, without even knowing it.

1. March 2020 changed the life of Joseph Flavill radical. The 19-Year-old was driving on this day in his home town of Tutbury by a car and fell with severe brain damage in a coma. About this time also the living for most of the other people in the world changed – the Coronavirus spread, the pandemic has put the public life largely silent. What seemed a year ago, unimaginable, is now almost normal.

Joseph Flavill has heard nothing of all the. Eleven months he spent in a coma, according to the English newspaper “Daily Mail”. Now he’s better, he can perceive his environment and by winking and Smiling at you to react. However, what is Corona, of which Flavill had no idea. Also, he had missed, of course, what is going on in the Rest of the country in front of you: the UK is in Lockdown to combat the Virus.

Coma-Patient has slept through “the pandemic”

Flavill to have “slept through the whole pandemic,” said his aunt Sally Flavill-Smith of the Daily Mail. This is all the more strange, since the young man was very much affected by the Coronavirus: During his treatment in various hospitals, he survived two infections. His family is happy, of course, that the 19-Year-old was on the verge of graduating from high school, is back on the mend. However, as you are to him, the pandemic and the Lockdown explain, don’t know you are so right – after all, such a change can overwhelm a patient quickly. “We don’t know how much he understands,” said his aunt. “We don’t know where to start.”

That something is not right, should be noticed Joseph Flavill already. Due to the Corona precautions, his family is not allowed to visit him, the contact is only via video chats possible. For the parents it was “incredibly hard,” said Sally Flavill-Smith of the Daily Mail. Your nephew will now have to fight step by step, back to life. Originally, his plans were quite different: After high school, he wanted to travel for one year. The friends and family take over for him now: you try to go around with Cycling, walking or running units of the world.
