Corona-positive in New York – a field report

After twelve days I received my test result. I am one of the lucky ones, healed and immune. The health system is collapsing on my doorstep in New York.

A test result after twelve days. Yes, I got the virus in New York. The test result came when I actually no longer needed it. From a two-week odyssey through the US corona jungle.

The call I had been waiting for many days came on Monday afternoon. The conversation lasted less than two minutes. Verification of personal details. Info that the result of the completed corona check is there: “You tested positive. How are you?” I explain that I am now free of fever and that most of the other symptoms are gone again. “Since when?” For three days. “When did the disease start?” Two weeks ago. “Well. You should be immune and go outside with confidence.

A stone falls from the heart. A two-week odyssey through the US corona jungle has come to a temporary end.
