[I'm transitioning a bunch of Facebook posts I made on the Coronavirus to my blog. This was from March 13th]
I thought it would be worth posting this video, which is of someone who has (mostly) recovered from the coronavirus describing what the early symptoms were like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2E1t3yMXgE&t=1800s
Of importance, I thought, were how mild the initial symptoms were: just a cough, really. The fever was tentative and barely registered at first.
The implication of this is that self-quarantining does need to happen quite aggressively, as soon as even mild symptoms arise. The *further* implication of this is that it would be really great if we had reliable and very easily accessible testing, because the stage at which you want to self-isolate with the coronavirus is the same stage at which it looks just like the cold or allergies or something. It would be really nice to be able to tell the difference very early on.
