Coronavirus (COVID-19) Stories Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Tina Baker, Former COVID-19 Patient

The Patient Story focuses on cancer stories but with the onslaught of sudden cases and mounting uncertainty, we decided to interview former COVID-19 patients to help anyone who just want to better understand the novel coronavirus, especially new patients and their families. We understand it’s the lack of knowing that can add more stress and anxiety. We hope this helps.
