She mentions that she intends to "breathe COVID-19 air" after receiving a positive test result for antibodies in the strange video posted on her Insta below...

From her Instagram post on May 1st she announced she took the test last week and it came back positive.  This means she's probably already had the coronavirus and didn't realise she had it!  She says she now plans to go outside and "breathe in the COVID-19 air."

“Here’s the good news. Tomorrow’s another day and I’m going to wake up and I’m going to feel differently.”

She then urged people to #staysafe and #staysane.

Update: here it is for those that missed it!

I'm not quite sure how I feel about everything going on. I don't think enough people will take the stay at home order issued in North Carolina or in other states. Too many people think the virus is fake, some sort of conspiracy or just not serious. 

I also understand why people are protesting. Many many people have lost their jobs and unlike other countries are not getting any relief, other than the one time $1,200 check. Unemployment works very slow and a lot of red tape in this country and every state operates differently, so understandably people are unhappy. I don't think people in the country take the virus serious because it hasn't hit them personally.

I also understand the perspective those who are concerned about the government breaching constitutional rights, particularly the 1st amendment, right to free speech, right to assemble and so on. That is something many Americans take very seriously. 

I also understand the implications that rescinding the shutdowns will likely have. It means that in a month or two people will know someone personally who has it or even worse died from it. Truth is we don't really know what will happen. There's a lot of "noise" if you will about the testing and how many people are asymptomatic. 

People need to be able to keep a roof over their head, food on the table and be able to pay their bills just as someone who owns a business should not have to go bankrupt. Other countries seem to be doing more to keep things afloat. I mean am I wrong? Would it seem that people in other countries are more complaint with the orders because their governments are doing the right things to make it successful?

Anyway, I'm not sure what the full story is, but it sounds like this might have been a bit overreaching.

Just curious as to how it has affected everyone.

I usually work as freelance but my work has sorta dried up at the moment!

As the title states.. 

Countries around the world have been lockdown - and we all seem to have been impacted. 

So with that in mind, what have you been able to achieve if anything? 

For example I've actually had time to get into some books I've been meaning to read, and finally sort some of the mountain of clothing I've had to go through. 

Now the UK lockdown has been extended by a further 3 weeks I think I might upcycle a cupboard I've been meaning to get around to!

I guess this will be there the first piece of news on GS for awhile. I will try and keep this update as much as I can.

WHO warns about dangers of premature lifting of COVID-19 restrictions

GENEVA/ZURICH, April 10 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization (WHO) warned countries on Friday to be cautious about lifting restrictions introduced to curb the spread of the new coronavirus.
The WHO would like to see an easing, but at the same time “lifting restrictions could lead to a deadly resurgence,” Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference.
He said there had been a “welcome slowing” of epidemics in some European countries - Italy, Germany, Spain and France - but there had been an “alarming acceleration” in other countries including community transmission in 16 countries of Africa.
