At one point, she was put on oxygen.

It was the perfect job to just get back into it. I had started doing Zooms at one point, but I could only do so many because I would get so tired.”}}</ref> |- | [[Gez Medinger]] || Filmmaker, science journalist and former runner || British || In March 2020, Gez Medinger's COVID-19 symptoms started.
