Nick Jackson is urging people to take COVID-19 seriously while revealing that he contracted the virus himself last year.

Nick took to Instagram to share his story.

"Crazy to think there's still COVID deniers out there in the world," he began. "I had a pretty bad case of COVID in early September that kept me bed ridden for nearly 3 weeks. I couldn't taste or smell for 2 and a half months. At one point my whole body had hives on it and my doctor said that it was definitely from COVID," he continued.

Nick then said that even after he had beaten the virus, it took his body a long time to fully recover.

"Matt had to do the majority of the work in matches once I returned safely because I couldn't catch my breath," he wrote. "My cardio is finally back but it took months to finally feel like myself again. Let's protect each other and wear masks."

We're glad Matt is back to full fitness and echo his sentiments regarding the severity of the pandemic.
