#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 productsābut, 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/

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 momentsābirths, weddings, loved onesā deathsāremade and altered forever by the virusā shadow. wired.com/story/birth-deā¦
My sister has been badly sick with #COVIDć¼19 symptoms for almost 4 weeks. Sheās āpresumptive positiveā because there arenāt enough tests.
I began displaying symptoms yesterday. Waiting to find out if I āqualify for testingā, because there arenāt 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 arenāt enough tests.

I have compromised lungs.
I have a compromised immune system.
So, itās possible that these symptoms are just āThursdayā for me.
Itās possible I have the garden variety bronchitis I get most years around this time.
If there were tests, I could know for sure. #MyCovidStory

REQUEST FOR HELP: I'm writing for @WIRED a weekly oral history of the COVID-19 pandemic, trying to weave together a national portrait of how we're all experiencing this momentāstories of what's happening in govt, in business, at home, and in health care.ā¦ wired.com/story/tell-us-ā¦
We need your help to find good stories and people to follow. We're looking for 50-75 people, from all across the country, all various viewpoints, who we could interview every week or every other week to see how their perspective on this crisis evolves.ā¦ wired.com/story/tell-us-ā¦
Email covid@garrettgraff.com if you know someone with a unique pandemic perspective who we should talk to. Email your own story to covid@wired.com. Tag first-person Twitter threads, Facebook posts, or Instagrams you read with #mycovidstory, so we see them. wired.com/story/tell-us-ā¦
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 usāall of usāas 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....

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!
