Kelly and Kimberly Standard are identical twins. But their individual experiences with the coronavirus were anything but identical.
It started in the spring of 2020, when the 35-year-old sisters went to the emergency room together after experiencing fever and shortness of breath that hadn’t gotten better after a few days.
