It spreads faster than you think
Many people who were diagnosed with COVID-19 said that the virus spreads like wildfire because some of them did not travel or contact other infected individuals. There are patients who said that they had protective equipment on when they left the house, such as a surgical face mask, a gown and gloves but unfortunately they still got infected with this novel virus.
“It can spread so easily. It doesn’t seem to matter if you’re in contact with a person or not,” said Trevor Mankin, a Lutheran pastor in Seattle.
This is why is very important to stay home and keep a strict social distancing. Sadly, the virus affects everyone, whether you are athletic or sedentary, woman or man, young or old, healthy or not.
“People do not understand how contagious this is. My husband and I made a promise to ourselves not to touch anyone, thinking this would protect us. In fact, we promised to go into isolation, and this was going to be our last social event. It also happened to be the social event that did us in,” said Jacquie Rosshandler, a 38-year-old entrepreneur who was infected with this virus after attending an event in March.
Therefore, all the people who participated in that event were tested positive with the novel coronavirus and they told us that the disease was not so easy or gentle with them.
“We are both very athletic, eat well, don’t eat meat, and are in very good health,” she explains. “[But] the headaches for me lasted four days and were quite painful. Tylenol didn’t help at all. Isolate yourself for the good of yourself and the entire community. Stop waiting for other people to tell you to do so.”
