It took Leo Uzcategui one young patient to open his eyes to the severity of the pandemic.

Leo Uzcategui is a Respiratory Care Practitioner. When he first heard about COVID-19 he thought it was just a flu, but after meeting a young patient who tested positive and fell critically ill his understanding of it changed. His biggest fear is that there is not enough supplies and equipment to go around to properly protect healthcare workers.
