Itâs been a full year since Dix arrived at the Northwest Community Hospital emergency room in Arlington Heights with a 103-degree temperature that wouldnât break, confounding doctors who had ruled out the flu, bronchitis and other respiratory ailments.
A few days after that hospital admission, he would be diagnosed as the suburbsâ first case of COVID-19. His wife, Regina, would be the second.
