E055 - Mathieu Burdon - Surviving COVID-19

Great to release Episode #55 with our VIP Patron of the Month, Matt Burdon. Matt is a Public Safety Diving Team Leader, Tech Dive Instructor, VIP Patron of Speaking Sidemount, and survivor of a serious infection of COVID-19.

Matt graciously joined me to share in detail his experiences contracting COVID-19, from the knowledge that it had infected his workplace to seeing a colleague die, to his own battle with COVID, including 17 days in a coma.

Matt's story is both frightening and inspiring. You'll hear about his symptoms, admission to hospital, and intensive care... His family and friends being told that he won't make it, to the medical team pulling out the stops and saving his life.

Matt talks about the after-effects, his rehab, and his path back to diving. Matt and I then share our thoughts on the global pandemic and the responses of various countries around the world.

This episode is a must-listen for all divers and huge thanks again to XDEEP for their support of speaking sidemount and to our growing Patron community who graciously contribute to the production of every episode.
