Thread: I’ve been pretty quiet the last few weeks. It’s because I had #COVID19. I’ve been off social media focusing on getting healthy. But I wanted to write something now that I’m feeling better https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/04/03/im-a-healthy-millennial-getting-covid-19-was-so-much-worse-than-i-expected.html
I got infected through community transmission on Friday
March 13 (yes I’m aware), before it was even announced that was happening in Toronto. It was a dinner with six ppl. No one had any symptoms or had travelled recently.

As a reporter, I hate to become the story but I hope mine is useful. Especially since we don’t have a lot of information about this new virus, I’ve found it’s really interesting and uplifting to read about other people’s #COVID19 recoveries.
And I want to remind everyone that younger people are not immune! You can hear more on this episode of the Star’s new podcast #ThisMatters with @rajumudhar #FlattenTheCuve #COVID19Pandemic #StayHome https://www.thestar.com/podcasts/thismatters/2020/04/03/young-healthy-star-reporter-says-getting-covid-19-so-much-worse-than-expected.html
I was never able to be tested, which is interesting in itself. I’m one of 170 “probable cases” of #COVID19 in Toronto that I was happy to see are now being counted in the official local total.
I got super sick even though I’m a healthy millennial. Very grateful it wasn’t worse but it was a bit scary and really unexpected.
