Tuesday morning came the sad news that two women, aged 49 and 50, became the 17th and 18th victims of Corona in Israel. But fortunately, there are also positive stories. A 38-year-old bus driver from East Jerusalem, who has been in the hospital and has been on a respirator since March 5, has now been discharged from the hospital after recovering completely, writes the Times of Israel.

-It has been a really tough month, the hardest month of my life. To begin with, I got oxygen. I could not even get out of bed, says the man, who is only identified as Johnny after being discharged from Baruch Padeh Medical Center in Tiberias.

The 38-year-old was the first to become seriously ill with Corona in Israel. The bus driver was infected by a group of Greek tourists he was driving for. For a time, his condition was so severe that he hovered between life and death. On Monday he went home to his wife and three children aged 10, 2 years and 7 months.

-I have not seen baby Alex for over a month. It has been hard. The first thing I want to do now is go home and see my kids. I really miss the family – they have also been isolated and have not been outside the home, says Johnny.

For a period, the hospital treated the 38-year-old man with the Ebola drug Remdesivir, but no further information has been released about his treatment. The bus driver thanks the hospital for saving his life.

-I feel this team has saved my life. It is only because of them that I can stand here on my feet again, he says as he leaves the hospital.
