Filipino photographer Jo Avila shares his Covid-19 journey

Many in the industry knows him as misterkodaker and he is one of the Philippines’ masters that I personally look up to. I am still stunned learning that he had been diagnosed with the Covid-19 virus. He was my photography teacher way back 2006 and I have so much respect on him as a mentor. I praise God for his speedy recovery.

Jo Avila Misterkodar fought Covid 19

Sharing with you the story of his battle here:

It was around 2 am on March 16, 2020 when I found myself outside the ER of a hospital near my Antipolo residence. It was the second day of the Metro-wide community quarantine.

I explained that I had been suffering from diarrhea the past two days and vomited prior to proceeding the hospital.

While in the ER, they took a stool sample, hooked me up to an IV and allowed me to sleep for two hours.

Since the results of the stool sample showed no trace of bacteria, I was prescribed medicine and oral rehydration salts and sent home.

On March 22, 2020 I was back in the ER. I still had diarrhea. The ER doctor took note that I was coughing and had a cold. The decision was made that I should be admitted as a PUI.

Unfortunately, the hospital could not accommodate me since 20 of their nurses were under quarantine. My wife and I started to think of other hospitals where I could be admitted. Antipolo and Metro Manila hospitals were already at full capacity.

At this point, my dad and elder brother had been informed about my situation. With their help, arrangements had been made for an ambulance to pick me up at home and bring me to Qualimed in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
