Doctor who survived COVID-19 bewildered by public disregard

Dr. Michael Saag spends much of his time treating patients fighting for their lives and working with colleagues who are overwhelmed and exhausted by the relentless battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s a mixture of emotions, from anger to being demoralized to bewilderment to frustration,” Saag said. Confirmed cases of COVID-19 have increased an average of more than 1,500 a day over the past week in Alabama, bringing the total to more than 62,100 since the pandemic began in March.
