#MyCovidStory Since the start of the pandemic, i've been of the firm conviction that the fastest way to be free & feel normal was to follow Covid rules. For 13 months I was able to drive this point across and restrict movements of everyone including my 70+ year old father. (1/n)
By Jan 2021, the cases had fallen to an all time low but I remained sceptical and still followed and enforced Covid rules at home. On 31st of March, dad went out to a super crowded place called chickpet. I only came to know after he returned. I was shocked and scared. 2/n
But there wasn't much I could do. I was only praying God that he should not have brought the virus home. Meanwhile, I had scheduled hus vaccination at Aster RV on 5-April. All was well and no signs except that he had a little phlegm in his chest. 3/n

My daily thread of the best #coronavirus stories I've read. Starting with the story of the tradeoff that has come with US supply chains moving overseas. We got cheaper productsā€”but, in a crisis, hospital workers can't get adequate PPE. @tsimonite 1/

Here's the story of how to use math to forecast a pandemic. It's a tricky problem that gets much hairier once politicians get involved. @jetjocko @MeganMolteni 2/

An article saying the threat of coronavirus is overblown has been circulating in the WH. And you've got to read this devastating @ichotiner @newyorker interview with the author, law prof Richard Epstein. 3/

SHORT THREAD: @WIRED published the first two chapters yesterday of "Covid Spring," our living oral history of the Coronavirus pandemic.
The first chapter featured patients and caregivers in their own words talking what it's like to have the virus and fight the virus. wired.com/story/first-deā€¦
The second chapter featured the stories of eight Americans who have watched what would normally be some of their livesā€™ biggest and most quintessentially human momentsā€”births, weddings, loved onesā€™ deathsā€”remade and altered forever by the virusā€™ shadow. wired.com/story/birth-deā€¦

My sister has been badly sick with #COVIDćƒ¼19 symptoms for almost 4 weeks. Sheā€™s ā€œpresumptive positiveā€ because there arenā€™t enough tests.

I began displaying symptoms yesterday. Waiting to find out if I ā€œqualify for testingā€, because there arenā€™t enough tests. #WhereAreTheTests
I should have been tested weeks ago after known contact with an infected person (my sister).

But the #COVIDIOT was scared of how a pandemic would hurt his image, so he squandered our lead, refused WHO tests, and called it all a hoax.

So there arenā€™t enough tests.
I have compromised lungs.

I have a compromised immune system.

So, itā€™s possible that these symptoms are just ā€œThursdayā€ for me.

Itā€™s possible I have the garden variety bronchitis I get most years around this time.

If there were tests, I could know for sure. #MyCovidStory

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm excited to enlist your help in a new @WIRED project I'm doing, writing an oral history of the "Covid Spring," chronicling this moment in our history week-by-week, chapter-by-chapter in the words of those of usā€”all of usā€”as we live it.... wired.com/story/tell-us-ā€¦
As many of you know, I spent the last five years writing an oral history of 9/11, THE ONLY PLANE IN THE SKY, weaving together the stories of hundreds of Americans, in their own words, about what that day was like to experience and how it changed them....Ā simonandschuster.com/books/The-Onlyā€¦
And yet each of the 2,000 oral histories I read for that project shared one thing in common: They all knew how 9/11 unfolded, how the day ended, who survived and who didn't....

[THREAD FYI]
Hello, I want to share my symptoms of COVID-19 to raise awareness and to make people calm.

I am a 24-year old Filipina who is currently residing in Berlin, Germany.

Last Saturday, I had sore throat (which is usual for me) cause I love sweets and cola. So, I ignored
Sunday afternoon, I had a headache! I knew i would be sick (this is the kind of headache I usually have before having fever). Checked my temp, everything is normal.
Slept early on that day, again another unusual for me cause I usually sleep late. I just couldn't contain the pain.
I woke up midnight feeling so warm! I thought it was just because of the heater in my room. But I could not stand, I was very hot and at the same time cold inside. I could not explain. And my head is hurting! So, i decided to get my thermometer and check my temp. It was 38.1!
