In Hey everyone Birgit Van Mol gives an interview about her husband René, who has a life-threatening autoimmune disease, but she also comes back to five months ago. Then she became infected with the corona virus. “It was a mild form,” she says. “But I was sick for a month and I still suffer from it.”
“My tongue feels permanently burned and I no longer taste my food as before,” says Van Mol, who has been a news anchor at VTM for 22 years. “At times I don’t smell anything either. In the beginning, the virologists said it could take two months, so I always assumed everything would be fine again. But now we are five months later and I am starting to doubt it. Anyway, I can live with it. Some people have permanent heart or lung problems. Or much worse, die from it. ”
