Rebecca Tyson, of Whitehall Township, was diagnosed with COVID-19 in early January, with mild symptoms initially that worsened into a severe headache, body aches and muscle fatigue that felt like she had weights tied to her arms and legs.
“I had some breathing issues where I felt like I was almost breathing in moist air,” she said.
Through her physician, she was identified as a candidate for a potentially life-saving outpatient treatment known as monoclonal antibody therapy.
She arrived at St. Luke’s Hospital-Easton Campus for her appointment on a Sunday, the infusion took an hour, plus an hour for observation, and she drove herself home with zero side effects.

SHENANDOAH â A New York man who led East Union Township Police on a chase on Nov. 21 waived his right to a preliminary hearing before Magisterial District Judge Anthony J. Kilker.
Billy Jon Quirk, 28, of 83 Park St., Centereach, was arrested by police Chief Thomas Rentschler and charged with fleeing or attempting to elude police, trespass by motor vehicle, reckless driving, careless driving, driving at an unsafe speed, failure to yield to emergency vehicle, driving without insurance, driving an unregistered vehicle and receiving stolen property.
By waiving his right to a hearing, Quirk will now have to answer to all nine charges in Schuylkill County Court where he can plead guilty or enter a not guilty plea and request a trial.
