[00:00:08]Martin McCormack: [00:00:08] This is an\\xa0 important topic that we are talking about tonight.\\xa0 I am so grateful that you are willing to talk about it because I think a lot of people are in the dark as far as just how serious COVID can be.\\xa0 The experience that you both went through and going through is quite amazing.\\xa0 I'd like to start. by John, you telling the story.
