"It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis," the 28-year-old says, with the entire right side of his face clearly immobile.

"As you can see this eye is not blinking. I can't smile on this side of my face, this nostril will not move. So there's full paralysis on this side of my face," he adds.
