This is nothing short of a miracle as a young lady called Danielle Jinadu survives COVID-19 despite having sickle cell anaemia. Danielle was also suffering from inflammatory bowel disease and arthritis. In her interview with BBC News, she revealed that because of her underlying health issues, it took a while before she was diagnosed with Coronavirus.

According to her, she infected her entire family with the virus and that exposed her mother a lot as she was in the high-risk population also. Danielle says she was able to pull through the virus and other challenges she was facing both individually and as a family by believing she is “intrinsically a survivor”.

Finally, she has only words of encouragement for everyone while praying that we stick together and fight this pandemic.
