A doctor who has been diagnosed with coronavirus has given an insight into the disease's daily symptoms on social media.
Dr. Yale Tung Chen, 35, from Spain, who caught the infection while he was treating patients at Hospital Universitario La Paz in Madrid, has been sharing his experiences battling the illness with the pubic.
The emergency physician has been sharing ultrasound scans of his lungs and listing his daily symptoms in an attempt to give the world a glimpse of how the illness takes over the body.
Taking to Twitter the doctor wrote: 'Day 1 after #COVID diagnosis. Sore throat, headache (strong!), Dry cough but not shortness of breath. No lung US abnormalities. Will keep a #POCUS track of my lungs. #coronavirus @TomasVillen @ButterflyNetInc.'

and for the idiots who keep claiming I am short the market...look at it this morning as the liquidity crunch continues to worsen...I Wish I was short the market..but NOPE.
The Simpsons ‘predicted’ Tom Hanks would get coronavirus! Actor made a cameo in 2007’s big-screen version in which he ‘isolated’ himself and stated ‘If you see me in person, leave me be!’
How Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson mingled with fans, visited Bondi Beach, the Opera House and went on morning breakfast show Today - before they tested positive for the coronavirus
...diarrhea
even more toilet paper shortages
I would feel more confident traveling there than in many other foreign countries right now.
Italians with coronavirus symptoms who refuse to isolate could face 21 years in prison for ‘malicious murder’ as bars and shops are closed and last tourists leave before flights are banned
not seeing a lot of stories about Spain. Its mostly about Italy
Ultrasound is a terrible way to look at lungs and is u likely to be useful. That throws the entire rest of the story into doubt. I dont know any physician who uses ultrasound to evaluate lung disease
For those interested in facts and Science not lying by anecdote, here is today’s world wide data.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
129,386 cases world wide
73,416 resolved. 50,250 mild. 5,711 critical. 68,667 recovered. 4,749 deaths.
Average age of dead: 80 years old
Might be a function of his facility..or perhaps he doesnt want to expose himself to repeated radiation of CT scan if he is trying to do a frequent observance. It wouldnt be prudent to do many CT scans
Vice President Mike Pence says all Americans returning from coronavirus ‘epicenter’ Europe will be asked to quarantine for 14 days
the point stands. The lungs are not well evaluated by ultrasound and the data is worthless whatever the reasoning, and the fact that he would think ultrasound shows anything makes one wonder if he is actually a doctor or what his training is. But if its on the internet it must be true
Thank you for the information.
It seems like Tom and Rita went all over while being infected, dunno if they were contagious, and it seems like their hotel was contagious even after being disinfected, and with them being on the other side of where the WUHAN man was.
This s*** is terrifying. I may need valium soon ;S
Trump’s travel ban will do NOTHING to stop coronavirus spreading person-to-person in the US and could make it worse by giving people a false sense of security, top WHO doctor warns as EU commission slams ‘unilateral decision’
.I reject that Trump should not have done it.
He should have done it long ago.
It will help stop the spread as Health care deals with those that have it.
Many wont need treatment...you go home until your body heals you or it doesnt and you have to go to ER
If you doubt he is a Dr it is pretty easy to find out if it is true instead of just claiming he is a liar
why dont you check
He’s in quarantine at his home, ultrasound is probably the only tool he has available and he figures it’s better than nothing?
