The Saga of Chicago ‘Tamale Guy’ Claudio Velez | Eater Chicago
"At the hospital where Velez was treated for COVID-19 I observed a prolonged, serious stay — he was placed on a ventilator, spent roughly 35 days hospitalized and at one point was in critical condition — followed by a celebrated discharge where staff gathered in the lobby to cheer as he left; he required home care after leaving Rush but doctors and family reported significant improvement." - Eater Staff
