Life-threatening Experience Brings COVID Closer to Home for Dr. Cuellar

The experience of having COVID has strengthened Doctor Cuellar’s resolve.  Having survived the life-threatening ordeal, the well-known internist says that individual responsibility lies with each of us to adhere to all regulations.

Dr. Fernando Cuellar, COVID-19 Patient

“In a way I am very grateful for having lived through it because I can relate to what patients are feeling and I just have to make sure that I was taking my medication and taking care of myself, hydrating and lots of home remedy.  I thank Belize, I mean, I’ve had about fifteen or twenty different home remedies, all of them helpful and I will definitely use this experience with more resolve, with more care, with more love to help people so that they can get over this COVID.  And the big message I want to say is that everybody’s individual responsibility is to take care of themselves, wash their hands, wear your face masks properly and the physical distance.  We do not need government, we do not need authorities, we need to work together as Belizeans.  We need to love each other, we need to get this country ahead and get out of this.”
