Nineteenth Judicial District Court Judge Richard “Chip” Moore, who was hospitalized last week with the coronavirus, is now on a ventilator in an intensive care unit, his wife said in a Facebook post.
Sheryl DeMetz Moore is asking for continued prayers for her husband, who is 55 and being treated at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center.
“I watched this man train day in and out for 3 solid years to successfully complete an Iron Man Competition at the age of 50,” Sheryl Moore wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday.

“He’s a fighter, and he’s going to kick this virus’ butt all the way back to China with the help of his amazing medical team at OLOL and The Holy Spirit,” she added.
