HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The first Connecticut resident to test positive for COVID-19 exactly one year ago says he’s still coping with health problems, but the experience has brought a new optimism to life.
The former Wilton resident was diagnosed on March 8, 2020, and spent three weeks at Danbury Hospital, including 10 days in a coma and on a ventilator.
He was 45 at the time, with a wife and 4-month-old twin boys.
Tillett told WVIT-TV he now enjoys the little things in life and chooses to laugh instead of getting angry.
He and his family have since moved to Virginia to be closer to family.
