Looks like my friend has the coronavirus

Home sick and under self quarantine, after her doctor told her it's "likely" she has it. Not officially diagnosed, not enough testing of course, but that is what she was told. She'll be one of those who won't be a statistic, but one of the estimate ten fold who have the virus but not officially diagnosed.

Worst part, she was about to start a bartending job but did not make it on the payroll, so she won't be able to get unemployment benefits for the service industry workers who found themselves suddenly unable to work. Minnesota has pretty good unemployment compensation benefits, especially for this situation, but she won't qualify.
