Phillips and husband Matt Pettigrew were hitting the gym five times a week, were active and big fans of travel. High-blood pressure was his only underlying condition.
One-hundred and five days in hospital later, he’s close to 100 pounds lighter, is using a walker and has nerve damage in his left arm.
Phillips speaks with a deep rasp, and can only use 30 per cent of his voice because of a paralyzed vocal cord.
He’s now speaking out because he wants people to know COVID-19 is not a joke.
“If it can fell a healthy 59-year old, it can do that to anyone,” he said.
