Back in September, I tested positive for coronavirus. YUCK. A few weeks later, Trump contracted coronavirus, and so did several members of his administration and inner circle. The key takeaway here is I 👏 DID 👏 IT 👏 FIRST 👏.
Since testing positive, I have been asked three primary questions:
What was I doing when I contracted COVID-19?
Who gave it to me?
How am I feeling?
I decided to go Live on Facebook/ Instagram to answer these FAQs ✨en masse✨ and now, after deciding to start a blog, I am sharing my Live as the inaugural post. Timestamps are below for your convenience of picking and choosing which information is important to you.

00:17:35 -- I have no idea what's going on in my body, but I am so lucky.
00:18:43 -- Testing positive, and knowing that your symptoms statistically have a good chance of becoming tremendously worse in a matter of moments is enough to give anyone anxiety. You are not exempt from that.
00:19:16 -- no one can tell you how to live your life. If you think you "know the truth" about coronavirus...
00:19:28 -- But if you're wrong...
While I was completely alone and isolated during my COVID-19 recovery, I realized two things: 1) Texture of food is not enough to say that food "tastes good;" and 2) I crave conversation. So, I decided to start a blog and create conversation with the world around me.
Obviously, this is post numero uno. I am working this out post-by-post, but I KNOW there will be kinks, and we might get kinky. And my perfectionist tendencies are attempting and will continue to attempt to prevent me from posting at all. But I promise I'll show up rain or shine. If you're interested in joining the conversation, sign up using the form below to be notified of future posts.
Until next time,
Alexander
