Monday March 23rd I received a call that sent chills down my spine. “Come home, Bryan tested positive,” my mom said. My cousin Bryan spent the summer in Spain doing a program with FIU abroad. He received the news that universities across the country were shutting and sending everyone home. As soon as he landed in Miami his parents drove him straight to the hospital but he was cleared after a quick screening of his temperature and throat. “Take an allergy pill, it’s the season,” said the doctor. Fast forward a week and the COVID-19 tests are available, naturally his mom sent him directly to get tested.
It’s important to note he not once felt a cough, a headache, or much less any body ache. He seems to be an asymptomatic carrier who fortunately will not have to go through the severeness of how it has hit other people. The whole family is now waiting for the test results to see if they have it as well.
