FAIRFIELD — Fatima Hernandez is a survivor of Covid-19 who took her experience and is using it to help others stay healthy. Hernandez, the pharmacist project manager for Touro University College of Pharmacy, survived several weeks on oxygen in a hospital in Texas after doing a CPR class for her college degree. She never thought for a second that she would be exposed to Covid,

much less flat on her back in a hospital, fighting for her life. “I did the class and a few days later I got my first symptom,” she said. “I was like, no. No, this can’t be.” But after putting on her favorite perfume, she couldn’t smell it. She opened the bottle and sniffed: Nothing. She went to the hospi-

She was back in the hospital within four days, on oxygen and in talks with the doctor about the possibility of being intubated. “I didn’t want to do that. I knew the outcomes of being intubated and it wasn’t good,” she said. Instead, they wheeled in a new type of breathing machine with a ventilator and oxygen. She credits See Clinic, Page A9

His dad set up a shed in the backyard with a table and chair for whenever he wanted to go out and practice with the equipment. Clark was one of about 40 people that came out Saturday for the Vaca Valley Radio Club’s ham radio 24-hour field day event. Don Preston coordinated the annual event, this time at the American Armory Museum in
