WHAT. A. DAY!
I came across a great thread on Twitter last night from a registered nurse explaining what to do if you do get the coronavirus. She lists items you SHOULD be buying (Tylenol, Advil, Mucinex, Kleenex, … not an abundance of TP), how to manage your symptoms, how to make a plan with your doctor and when you should go to the ER.
