I was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Tuesday. I& #39;m isolating at home, away from my family (all of whom tested negative) and I haven& #39;t had to go to the hospital. I& #39;m breathing fine, just very achy, tired and dizzy. I& #39;m sharing this in the hopes that ...
...in the absence of a national testing strategy, maybe it inspires someone to go ahead and get tested. I was feeling mostly fine. I had a raging headache for a few days, which I 100% blamed on stress, and terrible back and neck pain, which is not unusual for me...

...I have a heart condition that could be made worse by this. I am not able to hug my kids during a terribly scary time for them. I am experiencing this against a backdrop of 210,000 Americans having already died. And there& #39;s no national strategy to address any of it...
...Please get tested. Please wear a mask. Please understand this virus is real. I have been incredibly careful. I work from home. I don& #39;t gather in large groups. I wear a mask when I go running or grocery shopping. I have no idea how or where I picked this up...
...There is growing evidence that mask-wearing reduces the severity of your illness, if you do happen to catch the virus in spite of wearing one, as I did. Please vote.
