'They're calling me a survivor': George Santos' evolving story of fighting covid

Shifting timelines, changing symptoms and even talk of a brain tumor

Covid led to “very aggressive pneumonia” for Santos and left him with “a cough that lingered around for 30 days,” according to The Island Now, a local news outlet, in September 2020. “Nobody would come near me thinking I was still viral,” Santos reportedly told the paper.

But in a series of earlier interviews, Santos cited different dates for his diagnosis, a different set of symptoms and a much shorter bout of infection. Rather than weeks of agony, Santos initially said he suffered a high fever for several days but was able to manage it at home with cold medicine.

And not long after that, he was back to outdoor exercise.

We are into “I invented oxygen” territory with this guy.
