A nurse who tested positive for COVID-19 says she’s getting better each day and expects to fully recover.Lisa Merck is not sure where she became infected with the virus but says symptoms started out very mild late last month."I started having just a little sniffling in my nose. It's almost like if you go outside and it's cold out and your nose just starts running a bit," Merck said in a video interview from her house.After a few days, in late February, the mild symptoms became worse.“Every time I stood up, I felt like I just kind of wanted to pass out. I got really tired,” she said.What surprised her is that after a few more days she started to feel better. She felt well enough to volunteer her time with a ski race in her small, central Colorado town. At one point, she went for a run with her husband.Doctors tested her for influenza and the results came back negative. Her health continued to improve, she said."I was feeling okay,” she said. “I watched my little nephew, and then around March 1st and 2nd, I started getting a fever. I started getting a little short of breath."This time, those symptoms persisted, and she eventually asked her husband to take her to the emergency room the second week of March. She tested positive for COVID-19. Merck provided a copy of her county health department notification, which requested she not have contact with members of the public while she recovers."I don't know where I got that kind of virus. That's the hard thing is not knowing I could have picked it up from a patient and I could have picked it up from a surface,” she said. “It could have been at an airport, on a place or a bus. I have no idea where I got it and that's the scary thing. And you know, especially since I am hyper vigilant about it, making sure my hands are clean and that I do the right thing.”Merck said she agreed to talk publicly, because she wants others to know what to watch for. She says she also wants the public to know that most people will beat the virus. "I'm feeling a lot better. I'm feeling more energetic. I did a little yoga this morning. I did some stretching," she said.She’s still staying away from other people as she recovers. 2193

After 21 years, an innocent man was released from prison. "Behind the wall, behind the barbed wire, a week is like a month and a month is like a year,” Terrance Lewis describes about life behind bars.Lewis was wrongfully arrested in December of 1998.“Living that life every day for 21 years was beyond a hardship," he says.Lewis was 17-years-old when he was arrested in connection with a murder. Two years later, a jury deemed him guilty and he went to prison."It was alleged that I was a participant in a robbery, a botched robbery that went wrong," he explains. "And they felt me guilty of second-degree murder, which was a felony murder, meaning that the allegation of me being there. I was given a life sentence for practically being in the house when the murder occurred,"A witness, who admitted later in court that she was high at the time, gave false information. Her statements sent him behind bars, forcing him to leave his family, including his 1-year-old son."He's a grown man now; he's 21," Lewis says. "I wind up spending 21 years trying to convince the court, trying to convince anyone who would hear my cries and my grievances that they had an innocent man in jail."In Pennsylvania, a life sentence is imposed without the possibility of parole. However, Lewis didn't give up hope."I had to keep on keeping on," he says. He took matters into his own hands, representing himself. When he got to the court door, the judge insisted on appointing him an attorney. This time, it was David Laigaie. However, it wasn't until 10 years later that Terrance was finally released. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled automatic life sentences for juveniles were unconstitutional."The judge granted Terrance a new trial because his due process rights had been trampled, the district attorney's office withdrew the charges, and the judge then discharged Terrance because there were no live charges against him," attorney David Laigaie says."We are very happy to see my nephew home after 21 years. We was heartbroken," Judy Waters, Lewis' aunt, says. Since the day he got out, Terrance has been bombarded with love from people he hasn't seen for decades."This is my high school friend. We grew up together," Lewis says, while hugging his friend Richenda White. "I haven't seen her. When was the last time I saw you? Since you was 18."The beautiful reunions are no secret to neighbors. "He can get his life back and that's more than anything anybody can ask for," one of Lewis' neighbor says. "Life, ya know what I’m saying? And freedom." Lewis is now a free man, nostalgically visiting places where he holds fond memories and re-introducing his taste buds to the food of his childhood.The world in 1998 is very different from the world today. “It's foreign to me. It's different. The world is different. Downtown Philadelphia is completely different," he observes. "Only thing that's not different, for the most part, which is sad, is my neighborhood. My neighborhood is still the same."This is why the crime is so prevalent in my community, because they don't have nothing; it's just torn down. There's not much here, as far as for the kids or the youth."Lewis' experience and the state of his neighborhood has inspired him to make a difference.He plans to keep on fighting to make sure what happened to him doesn't continue with other innocent people."I'm gonna be a voice for the voiceless. I'm gonna hopefully bring into existence some type of change and I'm going to use my journey as a catalyst to bring about it, because it's needed. I'm living proof that it's needed."Styled by a former cellmate, getting a haircut has become a symbol of freedom."We could only get a haircut once a month," Lewis says. As he settles into modern-day life, he can finally focus on his future. He plans to get a degree in criminal justice and was offered a job as an attorney's paralegal, a job Laigaie thinks he's well cutout for."He keeps me on my toes. In the 10 minutes you get on a phone call with a prisoner he'd ask me two dozen hard questions about the law and about the facts," Laigaie says.Both Terrance and Laigaie agree great changes are already happening in the justice system, but there's still work that needs to be done."Terrance's case, and many others like Terrance, should prove to people that while our system of justice is good," Laigaie says. "It isn't perfect, and they should always keep in mind that mistakes are possible, and mistakes need to be fixed and corrected."Lewis plans to the motivation for that change using his optimism to push him forward."Don't lose hope," he says. "Put your best foot forward and constantly pound on the door. Somebody gonna hear you."********************If you'd like to reach out to the journalist for this story, email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 4806

A pair of government agencies issued warning letters on Monday to seven companies who are accused of falsely advertising that their products can cure or prevent COVID-19 illnesses. The letter comes as Americans from coast to coast have cleaned out grocery store shelves, creating shortages in cleaning and sanitation products at stores. The coronavirus has topped 100,000 cases worldwide, and fears of a widespread pandemic in the United States are growing. The FDA and FTC said that there are currently no vaccines or drugs approved to treat or prevent COVID-19. The letters were sent to Vital Silver, Quinessence Aromatherapy Ltd., Xephyr, LLC doing business as N-Ergetics, GuruNanda, LLC, Vivify Holistic Clinic, Herbal Amy LLC, and The Jim Bakker Show. The claims, the agencies said, could mislead consumers in believing the products could be useful in curing or preventing COVID-19 symptoms. For instance, the Jim Bakker Show published a claim on its website that a product could kill off the coronavirus. “But this influenza [sic] that is now circling the globe, you’re saying that Silver Solution would be effective? Well let’s say it hasn’t been tested on this strain of the coronavirus, but it’s been tested on other strains of the coronavirus, and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours, totally eliminate it, kills it, deactivates it,” said a video clip that was on the website that the FDA and FTC claims is not accurate. "Silver Solution has been proven … to kill every pathogen it has ever been tested on … and it can kill any of these known viruses.""The FDA considers the sale and promotion of fraudulent COVID-19 products to be a threat to the public health. We have an aggressive surveillance program that routinely monitors online sources for health fraud products, especially during a significant public health issue such as this one," said FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn, M.D. "We understand consumers are concerned about the spread of COVID-19 and urge them to talk to their health care providers, as well as follow advice from other federal agencies about how to prevent the spread of this illness. We will continue to aggressively pursue those that place the public health at risk and hold bad actors accountable."The FDA and FTC said it has requested the companies respond in 48 hours describing the specific steps they have taken to correct the violations. Companies that sell products that fraudulently claim to prevent, treat or cure COVID-19 may be subject to legal action, including but not limited to seizure or injunction, the agencies added. 2596

Amid treasures on display from Africa, Selemani Sikasabwa feels right home.“My ancestors used some of them,” he said.Selemani is part of the Global Guides program at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia.“I share my own stories,” he said.He’s one of seven guides offering tours of galleries, with exhibits that represent the regions they come from: Africa, the Middle East, along with Mexico and Central America. Some are immigrants, while others are refugees, like Selemani.He fled his home in the Democratic Republic of Congo and spent 19 years in Tanzania as a refugee, before coming to the U.S. five years ago.“I left my country because of the war,” he said. “There’s war in my country.”For the museum, the program offers a chance to back up their collections with real-life experiences.“The more I talk about this, the more it occurs to me that this is kind of a no-brainer,” said Ellen Owens, the Penn Museum’s director of engagement.She said the museum found the Global Guides helped attract 300 more visitors, just in the last three months. Owens added that about a half-dozen other museums have reached out to them--including the Metropolitan Museum in New York City--to learn more about their Global Guides program.“We really wanted people to feel more connected to our objects,” she said. “When objects are so old – 5,000, 7,000 years old -- it's really hard to bridge the gap between now and life now, and life way back then.”The Global Guides program got its start in 2018 in the Mideast Gallery. Last year, they were able to expand the program to other galleries, including the Africa gallery.For Selemani, it’s a chance to talk about things on display from his home country, like one large, curved drum -- a type he’s seen used before.“It’s a big drum,” he said, “and I call that drum a ‘radio station without microphone.’”He calls it that because the sound generated by beating on the drum can travel up to 10 miles, so the drum is used to communicate messages from village to village. It’s a detail that visitors might not realize were it not for Selemani, who feels grateful for the chance to talk about it.“I’m happy in the United States, because I’m free,” he said. “I work any time I want to go to work, and I feel safe where I’m living.”It is a way of living and sharing his home culture in his new home. 2332
