Antonio Valenti was born and raised in Detroit, but had been living and working Colorado for the past few years. As the COVID-19 pandemic worsened, he wanted to be closer to his family, especially his sons. But Valenti couldn t work: he suffers from a degenerative condition called spinal stenosis. It s a form of spine disease that attacks your bones and just basically feels like it s breaking my back, Valenti says of the pain.
This means frequent doctors visits, and what Valenti describes as countless MRIs. Valenti says he was definitely aware of the risk that frequent doctors office visits meant in terms of potential exposure to COVID-19.
