A few days ago Thom Hartmann read the day to day experiences of a person with Covid 19...

I think it was a young man in China but not sure of his location.

It was quite informative as to the progression of the disease - he stayed at home for the whole time until he got better (36 days)

I checked Thom's site but couldn't locate this article.

One thing I remember, other than he suffered a lot, was that his lungs gave off a crinkling like cellophane sound when he coughed.

Thanks to anyone who could give me the link.

British student and he thought he had the flu and by the time he realized it was much worse than the flu he was too sick to even call a cab and go to the hospital. His diary prompted me to not just buy supplies but to order a good humidifier and lots of cold and cough medicines and herbal teas.

tried to keep a daily journal.

Young guy.

Pretty sure he now has permanent lung damage and will need to be careful the rest of his life with the flu or even a cold ( for those who think this is just "Boomer Remover" and they don't have to worry about being infected ).

Maybe someone who receives it can post the article if it's noted and likely it is.
