'I'm sure I had tested for coronavirus'

Wikoria, 15, not tested, coronavirus, but given your symptoms and the fact that three members of your household to be positive, she thinks she had The Virus .

I tried to write this story several times, but something never felt right. As you can imagine, how a person feels coronavirus?

How do you think that a person who does it feel when you hear that another person has died?

After All , it's just A Number that climbs higher Every Day , but what happens if you are in The Group of people that were infected?

I can only speak how I felt, the fight against this invisible villain that killed and infected so many.

I felt resentment, symptoms occur and they still say to yourself: it's nothing, I'll be fine.

Maybe, because it does not want to see scary we have to face? But resentment is not, and will not, last forever.

slowly, I moved to The Truth of what I had to do. Loss of taste, headaches, chest pain, Sore Throat , and cough were my main symptoms.

I don't have The Test for coronavirus, but my mother, sister and brother-in-law, I have to Live With and are the key workers and they All tested positive.

I saw them All : tents, masks, swabs, and the terrified faces.

you know, what is the largest thing there is to face, if you coronavirus have? The People . You are scared, you look at them differently. But I was afraid.

Say: 'I haven coronavirus' for me, it was frightening, they say it is to know the other, for The World , was petrified. All of these questions: How? Why? When?

After a month, I can say that I know the answers to questions, to answer which I was not ready. I am grateful for The Experience , because normally I like to be in control of every situation, And Then All of a sudden I was in a scenario where I was powerless.

This has helped me to realize that it's okay, not everything is under control.

I am healthy. We are All healthy now.
