My wife, daughter and I have been self-isolating for more than a month and, despite our best efforts to isolate, we developed mild symptoms of COVID-19. We were early adopters of social distancing so can’t pinpoint where or how we were exposed #coronavirus #TrumpVirus
For me, I mark our time inside to the end of March Madness and the NBA. It seems like ages ago when LeBron said he wouldn’t play without his fans when the NBA suggested teams play in empty arenas. http://shorturl.at/nsuv9  LeBron was ahead of the curve. #coronavirus #TrumpVirus
The day after the NBA suspended the season, my wife and I kept our daughter home from school. At the time gatherings of 500 or more people had been canceled in NYC, but the largest gathering in our city went forward every single day: 1.1 million students #TrumpVirus
We were left confused by what appeared to be contradictory rules. Some parents began taking their children out despite schools remaining open because they had already decided the risk was too great with other elders and vulnerable family members at home. #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
We finally agreed to keep our daughter home but fortunately, soon after Mayor De Blasio announced he was officially closing schools. Though it felt a little too late. #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
I have seen stories of people who are now home, anxiously experiencing symptoms like us, searching Google for answers and self-diagnosing. Tests are still limited despite what Trump is saying. #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
So in this age of technology, soaring insurance and health care costs, many of us first turn to Google or what I now call Dr. Google for a prognosis. #TrumpVirus #CoronaVirus
Dr. Google had already assured us: that we likely have the Coronavirus. And without tests all we can do is virtually get a second opinion from our doctors. Slight fever? Check. Aches? Check. Chest congestion, Cough and Fatigue? Check, check, check. #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
My friend @rashadrobinson has called this Trump's Hurricane Katrina. http://shorturl.at/wLS59  because our government failed and continues to fail the Black community and all of us at this moment just like the government did in 2005. #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
I worry when Governors and the president debate about getting back to normalcy in only economic terms. Many will never return to normalcy. Loved ones are gone, people are still sick. Jobs lost. Elected officials failed us and gambled with our lives #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
Wife and daughter are fine. I continue to self isolate in a room, away from them, since I am still symptomatic. I am aware that having the space to self quarantine is another luxury not to be taken for granted. #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
Prisons and jails for example, spaces where our folks cannot safely practice any physical distancing, are becoming the new ground zero for the spread of COVID-19 and more should be done to ensure their safety and well-being #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
With NYC being the epicenter of this crisis, Cuomo has not done anything to address the spread of COVID-19 in prisons and jails. #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
Instead Cuomo rolled back bail reforms. Bail is one of the main reasons many people stay locked in jail even when innocent and why many locked up are going to be exposed to COVID-19 who should be home. He also has planned cuts to medicaid benefits #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
Not normally one to share but I am assuming others may have had these feelings and experiences and feel alone at this moment. Just know you are not alone. #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
For now I continue to self isolate, meet up with my wife in Club Quarantine with @djdnice or visit @questlove @RebornNYC @HERMusicx on IG Live. I don't think we have gone out this much in ages. LOL. #Trumpvirus #coronavirus
Grateful for the amazing artists who have brought joy, happiness and peace of mind during this time. They have certainly brought relief and hope to us all. We'll get to the other side of this. #staystrong #TrumpVirus #coronavirus
