My husband is suspected to have COVID-19. He has been sick for 16 days. I wrote an essay of our personal experience with the disease and the ordeal of trying to get tested in the USA.

Yes. This article gave me chills. We all caught it one after the other beginning at the end of Jan. I had both of my kids tested for flu (negative) cos they were so so sick and my husband was put on steroids because he couldn’t breathe. Weird thing was we all had flu shots last Fall.

The sore throat was the worst part for me. I was on peppermint tea and honey for weeks. We joked about it too when we saw the signs and face masks and prominent gallon sized containers of Purell at the clinics.

I hypothesized this here a while ago and caught hell about it but there’s got to be a reason the President is so relaxed. Thinking it wasn’t so bad they let it spread. They’ve been meeting about this virus since fucking January and now they aren’t testing for it. It makes sense.
