Brooke and Cameron tested positive for Coronavirus in July 2020, after they recovered, they planned to donate plasma, this is what he said at the time.
“I initially tested negative, but at some point, I contracted it from her and later became infected,” Brate said. “For me personally, the only thing I experienced was a loss of taste for two days. So I’m extremely grateful that I wasn’t one of the people who got some of the more severe symptoms.”
“We just tried to avoid the risk of exposure to each other as much as possible. We weren’t huddling up, we weren’t hugging each other or anything like that. We were just having a little catch outside so it was kind of a calculated risk, I would say, that we took in that regard. We did the best we could to try to maintain social distance and really not have too much close interactions with one another.”
“I will say — the scary thing is, if she hadn’t tested positive, I kinda would’ve gone on with my life as normal and potentially infected other people,” Brate said. “So that was kind of the main takeaway for me, was just how scary that possibility was. I think that’s potentially the case for a lot of people as well.”
“Thankful to have fully recovered from COVID-19. Donating plasma is the next step and something many can do! Go to OneBlood.org to learn how. Stay safe and #GOBUCS!
