A 25-year-old New Jersey man is fighting for his life in a coma after he tested positive for the CCP virus, but a lab lost his test—delaying his treatment, according to his family.

Jack Allard has been on a ventilator in intensive care for the past week or so after he was placed in a medically induced coma, said his mother, Genny Allard.
