https://popculture.com/trending/2020/03/28/coronavirus-pandemic-21-year-old-tests-positive-online-post-bragging-not-social-distancing/A Tennessee woman who once mocked self-quarantining and social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic has tested positive for COVID-19. Days before she was diagnosed, she shared a video on social media, bragging she did not think she would ever get the illness. Now, she is complaining about struggling to breathe because it "feels like someone is sitting on my chest."
"So, I'm aware that were supposed to be self-quarantining and social distancing all these things to keep everyone safe. Cool. I get it," Ireland Tate, 21, said in a video she published before she was diagnosed, reports WZTV in Nashville. "I just dont think that Im going to get the virus." She later got the virus though, and is now self-quarantining at her parents' home.
"It feels like someone is sitting on my chest at all times," Tate said of her symptoms. "It's really hard to breathe. Ive coughed until my throat has bled."

(63,221 posts)And some people go through life as a horrible warning. She would be the latter. What a stupid girl.
Not only has she harmed her own health, but she has probably infected others. What a selfish, idiotic person.

(14,491 posts)Article says she's an asthmatic to boot, so she'll probably pay for this event for life.
As I'm understanding it, this virus damages our lungs with any infection that shows significant symptoms. It is said to destroy the alveoli that allow us to absorb oxygen and expel CO2.
I hope she has a successful recovery and learns to use her social media popularity to do good rather than potential harm.

Wish her the best.
