8 Things People Diagnosed With Coronavirus Want You To Know

Around the world, cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, continue to surge.

“I would love it if people start thinking about folks who might need a phone call, email or message right now. It’s a great time to reach out to a friend or relative and check in,” Christy said. “Why do you need 64 porterhouses for the next two weeks? You don’t need to be doing that,” Mankin said.
