“I really don’t know where it got it to begin with and I think that’s something that we need to stressed for everybody. This Friday is going to be four weeks, I started with an itchy throat and I was feverish. So from the moment I felt that I start to kind of isolate myself at home that was a Friday. Saturday I really didn’t have any symptoms; Sunday I didn’t really have any symptoms. Monday I went to work and towards the afternoon I started feeling a little but week and I had a public activity that afternoon. I didn’t go and I went to get a rapid test that Monday evening. That Monday evening, December seventh I think was the date, the result I was driving back home when I was told. On the Tuesday and Wednesday I was really just kind of watching what was happening with myself. I was really just on the basic medication, vitamin supplements, I think I was taking zinc tablets. Nothing else. I wasn’t having any symptoms. On Thursday, this is three days after having been diagnosed, I started feeling a little bit more tired but still no fever. On the Friday I started having a little bit more fever and so I started antibiotics on that Friday. That was the Friday before I went to the hospital; and I was just tired. On the Saturday I think I was little but more tired and I have a watch that tracks your heart beat and my heart rate was going a little more high when I wasn’t feeling too well. So that is when I went for cat scan and I went to the hospital. I had infiltrates on both lungs in the basis and some were starting to appear on the upper portion of the lungs. Infiltrates is a small legions as if  you going to be having a viral pneumonia in both basis and they were starting t spread to the upper portion of the lungs.”
