“I should be able to go back to home school as soon as I feel better, but for now this virus has completely infected me.”
Andrea, from Kilwinning, says that until her home became infected, she didn’t think the symptoms of Covid19 would be “that bad”.
She said, “I knew it was bad for the elderly and people with health conditions, but I honestly thought we wouldn’t get it, and if we did it would just be a cold, but it’s not.”
“It feels so horrible and I don’t hope that happens to anyone.
“I think people take it for granted. Some walk around the stores like they would any other day, some refuse to wear masks and don’t sanitize their hands, but until you get them, you don’t realize how bad it is.”
