There is still be a lot of misinformation about the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. As necessities become sparse, entire cities and states shut down, and panic continues to rise, it's difficult to know what to believe about the world's current situation. Besides seeking out reputable sources of information, such as the CDC or WHO, one thing that has helped me better understand this situation is hearing Casey Garland's firsthand experience with contracting COVID-19. Casey has diligently tracked all of his symptoms since his diagnosis in the hopes of helping the public understand what it's like once you contract the disease.
- Common misconceptions about coronavirus
- What a "novel" virus is
- Why it took Casey 3.5 hours to figure out how to get tested for coronavirus (keep in mind this can vary by state and hopefully improves as time goes on)
- How medical staff test you for COVID-19
- COVID-19 symptoms prior to and after diagnosis
- Why the total number of confirmed cases is inaccurate (and much higher than we think!)
- Why Casey has decided to share his experience with the world on Reddit, Instagram, and media outlets
