Dr. Juan Rivera on Univision today gave his own diagnosis on ‘Despierta América’, the one he raffled off for more than 2 years: “It was my turn, last night I tested positive for COVID”.
The doctor, who was in charge from the first day the country was closed when COVID-07 arrived, and that is why he earned the title of ‘the superhero against the coronavirus’, he gave more details to his partner in the segment, Karla Martínez, about how he found out and, above all, how he feels.
“The truth is that it feels strange, because for the last 2 years I feel that I was in this race to help the population with all the information, and that made me feel almost separated from the problem and I forgot that it could also help me. happen, because you are so involved trying to help and work, and in the last few weeks I saw so many COVID patients in my office that it touched me. Thank God I’m fine, I’ve had a little body ache, a little congestion, and first God I’m going to be fine, and we’re going to continue to be involved in all this that is about the pandemic,” said Dr. Juan, who Despite the virus beginning to spread, he was still calm.
Later, Dr. Juan left a testimonial video on his Instagram account where he shared what he felt at the moment he knew that the virus had now come into his life, but in a more prominent way: inside his system.
“I have body aches, a little fatigue, a little sore throat. Last night I started taking the Paxlovid treatment, what went through my mind a lot when I took the treatment was those thousands and thousands of people, Hispanic brothers and sisters also because we were affected in a significant way, who did not have the opportunity to have a treatment , that they had a bad time, many died”, said Dr. Juan, a little more congested than when he appeared on ‘Despierta América’.
Rivera, ‘the Superhero against Coronavirus’, he recounted that in recent weeks he has treated more patients with COVID, that is why he ended the video with a reflection that included:
“We cannot forget those people who had a bad time, those people who died, and how they have affected our community, and we have to do better next time.”
Let us remember that Dr. Juan Rivera has become a reference for information, explanation, and safety since the pandemic began. So much so that for most it is a symbol of the fight against the coronavirus, either because of its advice or because of its fight, especially at the first moment, against those who sought to misinform or did not take the necessary measures to stop the number of those infected, including former President Donald Trump.
We see him every morning on ‘Despierta América’, but at that time of so much uncertainty, he was also on ‘Primer Impacto’, the Univision newscasts, ‘El Gordo y la Flaca’, and their social networks.
When the COVID crisis-19 positive reached ‘Despierta América’, Dr. Juan not only took the reins of ensuring that all team members could take their test (including him), but also brought peace to each of them.
In fact at that time the executive producer and vice president of the Univision morning show, Luz María Doria, shared in one of her posts: “We have called I go to doctor Juan every 5 minutes to ask him questions and we have asked each other, 10000 times, if we have symptoms”.
Today it is his turn to live it, and he will surely use it in favor of everyone, experimenting in his own body with more tips to help the population.
