The Catalyst Sessions w/ Bill DeYoung: Bob Devin Jones

Bob Devin Jones

It was the anti-viral drug remdesivir, Bob Devin Jones said Tuesday on The Catalyst Sessions, that helped him through the hell of Covid-19 during the nearly 10 days he spent in isolation at Palms of Pasadena Hospital.

“Of the handful of things that I recall, one of the doctors says ‘I can get you that drug from New York; I think I can.’ And he did. And it kept me out of ICU a second time. Turned it around, and I was not the statistic on the other side of the ledger.”

Jones’ recollections, piecemeal though they may be, are vivid and visceral. His doctor saw his test results and immediately had him admitted. “Once you go through that door, you could very well be called Alice,” he said. “Like through the looking glass.”

Jones likened the days that followed to the TV series The Twilight Zone. “It was the most bizarre things that’s ever happened to me,” he explained. “I didn’t realize how sick I was, but I was very sick.”
