CLARKSTON, Mich. – Chris Long is a father of three, and at 54 years old he was active and a mostly healthy, decades-long cancer survivor. However, when he was exposed to COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic, there was no predicting how his life would change. After going in for surgery last February when doctors didn’t have a word for the illness, Long began experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Long woke up in the hospital three days later and stayed for another two days. When symptoms returned in April, he went back.
