“Ramapo Town Supervisor Michael Specht is recovering from a two-week bout with the coronavirus that drove his temperature up to 102 degrees and left him fatigued and nauseous.

“I had what was probably in the moderate side of the disease but it was very debilitating and painful,” he said Friday morning in a phone interview.
