Hi everyone,

I was tested for covid-19 last week and my results came out positive. There is a lot of stigma and uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus so I wanted to share my experience with you guys.

Thankfully mine was a mild case with the usual symptoms such as bad throat, fever, loss of smell and taste, etc.

However, I am recovering well following all the necessary protocols. I feel lucky to be able to stay home and quarantine.

I know it's really scary time for everyone right now and it's important that we be safe and think of other people safety. Considering my age and that I have no pre-existing medical conditions I know I'll get through this. But it scares me when I think of my parents, elders, my friends and everyone else who could be much more effected by this disease. So please be sure to wear a mask maintain social distancing wash your hands regularly and don't go out unless absolutely have to.

I know it's frustrating to sit at home for so many months but we are living in an unprecedented time and it's time to do your part for the society. Spend time with your familes, stay in touch with your friends, protect your mental health and please reach out for help if you are feeling anxious or depressed.

Stay home and stay safe guys
