A new report out of King’s College London suggests that there are 6 different “types” of #covid19. The study looked at 1,653 patients who were diagnosed with #covid19. Using an app, the patients input their symptoms from the time they began to when symptoms either started getting better or the patients were hospitalized. Based on this data, the researchers divided the patients into one of six “types” of disease. The six types and their associated symptoms were: 1. Flu-like without fever 2. Flu-like with fever 3. Gastrointestinal 4. Severe level 1, fatigue 5. Severe level 2, confusion 6. Severe level 3, abdominal & respiratory ▶️ Head to our story to learn more about these 6 “types” of coronavirus.

On Atlanta’s West End, murals are being “masked”! Atlanta-based artist Fabian Williams - @occasionalsuperstar - is covering iconic murals with a vinyl sheet as part of a #covid19 public awareness campaign. Williams shared with @CNN that he “wanted a strong visual reminder that people should wear masks to protect them from a viral scourge that has disproportionately impacted Black and Brown Americans both in Atlanta and nationwide.” Have masks started popping up on murals and statues in your city?

Pitch Perfect star @therealannacamp’s message - wear a mask! She believes she contracted #covid19 after not wearing hers ONE TIME. “Hi friends... I felt it was my responsibility to share that I ended up getting Covid-19. I have since tested negative, but I was extremely sick for over three weeks and still have lingering symptoms. I was incredibly safe. I wore a mask. I used hand sanitizer. One time, when the world was starting to open up, I decided to forgo wearing my mask in public. One. Time. And I ended up getting it. I believe it may have been because of that one time. People are saying it’s like having the flu, but I’ve had the flu, and this is absolutely not that. The panic of contracting a virus that is basically untreatable and is so new that no one knows the long term irreparable damage it does to your immune system is unbelievably stressful. Completely losing my sense of smell and taste without knowing when or even if they will return is extremely disorienting. I’m only smelling about 30 percent of how I used to now. Other persistent symptoms are (a month later) dizziness, extreme fatigue, impacted sinuses, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, and fever. I’m lucky. Because I didn’t die. But people are. Please wear ur mask. It can happen any time. And it can happen to anyone. Even that one time you feel safe. We can all make a difference. Wearing a mask is saving lives. Thank you to everyone who reached out to check on me during this scary time. Please be safe out there. Let’s all do our part and wear a mask. I don’t want any of you to go through what I did. Even though it’s a little thing, it can have a huge impact, and it’s so incredibly easy to do.” 📸: @therealannacamp

Necessity is the mother of invention! We're loving The Tunel de Abraco aka The Hug Tunnel that allows elderly residents in Brazil to be able to cuddle with their families during the #covid19 pandemic. The BBC reports that "visits are limited and must be scheduled with families in advance. To keep everyone safe, the tunnel is thoroughly disinfected after each use by a clinic professional." 📸: @bbcnews
