‘This can happen to anybody,’ says B.C. fitness trainer, 33, hospitalized with COVID-19


A B.C. man says he’s living proof that COVID-19 can seriously affect anyone, no matter young or healthy they are.

Tarik Rahimin, 33, has spent most of his adult life working in the nutritional supplements industry, and has been a personal trainer for nearly a decade.


A nutritious diet, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and exercise, he told Global News, are all central to his lifestyle.


“Health is wealth,” he said.


But it wasn’t enough to keep Rahimin out of the emergency room at Surrey Memorial Hospital after he contracted a COVID-19 variant in early April.


“My hands were turning purple, yellow and blue, so they got me on oxygen right away,” he said.


“It felt like I was hit by a tank. I’ve played sports, I’ve done martial arts … I’ve lifted heavy weights — I’ve never in my 33 years experienced anything like this. It felt like I was literally gasping for air, for the last breath, every single time.”




Rahimin said his doctors were concerned his organs could begin to shut down, and told him if his oxygen levels dropped any further, they would have to intubate him and put him in a medically-induced coma.


“I’m freaking out, I’m 33 years old, I’m healthy, I’m active, why is this happening to me?” he said.


“It just made me realize this can happen to anybody.”


After nearly 10 days, Rahimin recovered enough to no longer need oxygen, and to begin to walk around, move and eat again.


He was discharged on April 20, and said he’s since been able to return to work, go for walks and to start working out again, though he is still facing fatigue.


He also posted about his experience on social media, creating a video meant to let friends, family and followers know that COVID-19 is neither a joke, nor just something that happens to old people.


“When people get it and you’re like, oh, maybe it’s someone who has asthma, maybe it’s someone who’s diabetic,” he said.


“For me, being at the age I am and I don’t have any of those, it just makes you aware that it can get anybody. You can be fit, you can do all the proper things, you just don’t know.”


He’s also asking his peers to hold off just a little longer on those birthdays, parties and trips to the beach while the province works to contain the pandemic’s third wave.


“Just think of others,” he said.

Dream on, fool.

You are on my Rx "user ignore" list, you idiot. Do you not even understand what that means & how it works.

It works all by itself, duh, until i click "View Post", which is rarely (0-10% range). Duh.

If he took vit D, lip glut, lip vit C, quecertin, NAC, and... ivermectin once a week or every other week he would still be picking things up and putting them down. You leftists fucking baffle me. You are terrified of a virus when we have medicines to combat it.

9/10 of the last FDA commissioners went on to work at big pharma after they were finished protecting us.

Even if such things were of any benefit vs covid19, they're not available to most of the world.

The point of the OP is that a young healthy fit personal trainer person can still end up nearly dead due to covid19.

You leftists fucking baffle me. You are terrified of a virus when we have medicines to combat it.

Not a leftist.

That's like making the following generalizations:

You Repubs are terrified of a vaccine that your POTUS took, told you to take, said is safe & said will save millions.

You Repubs are terrified of masks, distancing, lockdowns which kept millions from dying or getting sick or "long covid".

When you don't get sick in the first place due to safety measures, then you don't need any "medicines" later to get better.

I have 35 members on this site on ignore, including most so far in this thread, out of over 100,000 Rx members. So i seldom even see what they post, because those who are on the ignore function have their posts' messages hidden (unless i choose to click "View Post" or remove them from the user ignore list).


Thankfully i have a number of guys here on ignore now, so i seldom even read or see the nonsense, lies & false accusations they post anymore. Their accusations are much more likely to be true of themselves & the truth is much more likely to be the opposite of what they accuse.


Anyone wanting to see me expose their errors can search out my older posts and threads.


Who i have on ignore: http://www.therxforum.com/profile.php?do=ignorelist


-

Nearly as stupid as someone quoting and responding to a post of someone they claim to have on ignore. Fn tard

It's not a claim, it's a fact. Are you even clued in to how the system works? Or just another covidiot idiot. lol


Those i have on Rx user ignore have their posts hidden until if & whenever i feel like clicking a button that lets me see their post, i.e. whenever i'm in the mood to read, reply to & expose the garbage they post. Otherwise i can read threads blissfully without seeing any of their shit when i don't feel like seeing it. Get it now, or does this probably go way, way, way over your covidiot head.
