A virus causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19). It causes respiratory disorders with symptoms like fever, cough, and difficult breathing. It spread when infected persons sneeze or cough, and you close contact. Similarly, spread when an infected person touches their nose, mouth, or eye then touches an object or a surface with the virus. The World Health Organization (WHO) China reported the first coronavirus case on December 31, 2019. Since then, the disease has spread to a different part of the world. The number of infected people is rising day and night. (World Health Organization, 2020)Now, most of us are affected and have coronavirus experience. The essay will discuss my coronavirus experiences in the community.

COVID -19 Test experience
From country to country, the coronavirus case number is rising, with an increasing number of people who are getting tested at a walk to hospitals to visit doctors. After developing tightness in my chest and high fever on Friday, I decided to walk in a clinic at Anchorage. The first test was negative. I was sent home and instructed to monitor for the shortest of breath. All this time got treated as if i had coronavirus. I could not have stopped thinking about how I got infected and how many people have I infected if I am positive.
Waiting for the result, I decided to isolate myself from people. The symptoms still developed Sunday. I called the internist called Betty and instructed me to get to the emergency room. The hardest part was the extreme fever and body ache; it was not like a flu type of thing. A shock as was informed am positive was closer to death than alive because of fever.
Family and home experiences
It is tough for my family and me to sanitize every surface I touch and wash my hands before and after everything. Our house smells like bleach and Lysol right now. Wear a mask to protect my family and to stay on different floors in my home. Without close talks, hugs, and touch from my loved one, it depressing also when my sister gives me food like a prisoner by just placing it at the door.
I am weak and stressed as I get out to the toilet without going to the rest of the apartment. It’s super cumbersome, please don’t take it easy. Maybe it will but take care. I called the coronavirus line for more than four days. I had a lot of questions to ask, but they took longer to answer. Please don’t rely on hotline; instead, if you feel like you have coronavirus symptoms or you come to contact with an infected person, please be self-quarantine, stay away from your family, friends close yourself to keep a distance if you in the same room.
People who had contact with are still running in my head. I don’t want to spread panic but take care. People are asking so many questions about those who were together. The situation is dire. If you don’t care about yourself, please care about your loved ones.
The fact that matters yes, you should be careful of coughing people, but the shocks are there so many people without symptoms and are infected. I urge you to keep a distance from everybody without any exception. Read books, exercise, watch Netflix, and listen to music indoors. Its complex for the government traces the infected people to take care.
Conclusion
If you meet the measures, please follow the advice and self-isolate. Protect your patients. Protect your colleagues. Protect your friends and family. Protect yourself. Stay home, people, and be pragmatic. The fact that matters yes, you should be careful of coughing people, but the shocks are there so many people without symptoms and are infected. I urge you to keep a distance from everybody without any exception. Read books, exercise, watch Netflix, and listen to music indoors. Its complex for the government traces the infected people to take care. It’s a state of shock and panic; we should all be careful.
