US-Based Kenyan YouTuber Yvonne Mugure Tests Positive for Covid-19
US-based Kenyan YouTuber Yvonne Mugure says she is presently in isolation after she tested positive for coronavirus last week.
Mugure, 30, announced she was diagnosed with the virus in a post on her Instagram page last Saturday.
“I received my results and they are positive for the corona. The virus doesn’t care about your age, race or socioeconomic status. It’s attacking anyone. I’m just like you. I’m urging everyone to please stay home. This is not a joke or fluke, it’s real life,” she wrote.
Mugure says she went to the hospital after experiencing difficulties in breathing. Prior to this, she says she had lost sense of smell and taste but dismissed it as nothing serious.
“I could not breath, I had mild breathing problems but at some point, I could not breathe at all. It felt like I was catching every other breath…” she said.
“My symptoms are more severe than most because I found out I have a weak immune system (I had no clue).”
She says she called the Covid-19 emergency number and the team responded swiftly. A few days after she was placed in isolation at one of the hospital facility, she received positive results for COVID-19.
The US has the highest number of Covid-19 infections in the world with 240,344 cases as of Thursday. 5,807 people have died of the virus in the country.

Should America done what South Korea did sooner...many lives would have been saved.
But remember the Boeing 737's crash?
Americans were the last to ground the planes same as here....they took Corona for granted from way in January to like 2 weeks ago that's when they started sanitizing everything from street poles to parking meters on the streets.
EGO...EGO...EGO.
BTW...I tested positive, did my 14 days and now am good as new
@10x, glad to know you are well. I am sure when all this is over, America will look back and learn from its mistakes. That is what distinguishes America from a third world; when you know better you do better. Kenya will be back to politics as usual.
Kenyans know better as well but they normally chose to make the wrong choices.
They will also look back and possibly learn something after the world normalizes. One thing I wont look forward to are the politicians returning to the scene to talk garbage while they were no where to be found during this terrible time. It is the politicians who keep Kenya categorized as 3rd world. Many of them hate it that coronavirus is not letting them steal from the coffers while everything is at standstill. Quite strange indeed.
Ati you did your 14 days now you're good? What kinda bullshit is that?
Please try this concoction - boil Turmeric + Ginger + Garlic + Lemon. Just carefully steam your face and also drink some of it to open your airways.
