i just found out my uncle has been suffering from the covid-19 virus for 16 days. no one told me. they told me that he was just sick and nothing was confirmed yet. today he posted that hes been suffering horrible on and off symptoms.

he& #39;s had chills, a cough- he can& #39;t even call his loved ones. my aunts have been calling him daily but he can& #39;t answer because of the pain of the cough. he& #39;s lost twenty pounds in sixteen days. his lips are horribly pale. this virus is no joke.

so on the off chance this thread ends up on your tl. please remember to stay inside. if you go out, wear a mask. only leave your home for essential needs such as groceries. social distance. additionally, please pray for nurses, doctors, etc. who are combatting this virus head-on.

most of my family are in the medical field. my uncle is a nurse- that& #39;s how he contracted the virus. my mom is a nurse so she& #39;s been isolating and sanitizing as much as she can everytime she comes home from work.

anyways. stay safe during this time everyone, i love you https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">
