At the same time the church will have a popup pantry and give ou 60,000 easter eggs for the children and the church will offer up to 100 fabric mas for ople who need them.

Im not sure how youre feeling but you look great. How are you feeling this morning . Im actually feeling good. My official last day of quarantine was wednesday. I was off quarantine as of yesterday, but i really only went out for one thing. Im still staying home. So take me back to when you first discovered you contracted coronavirus. Did you have the cough, fever, tiredness, difficulty breathing . Did you have any of those symptoms . My symptoms came on a little bit different. I started feeling poorly on the 23rd, which was a monday. I thought maybe i slept wrong. My neck really hurt. And i drove down to san jose to work that night and tuesday went to work and i noticed i started not feeling well. I kind of felt like i had a sinus infection. I got body aches. I had one very low fever. I think 100. 6. Now when you got to the lowest part of that, when you got probably the sickest, what was that like . That was probably a few days after i was home. I was really short of breath. Hard to walk around the house for more than a minute or two at a time. Lower rib cage pain, some stomach and a headache. I had a headache that lasted, gosh, i want to say maybe seven or eight days and it was really bad. When did you decide to quarantine . Did you do a selfquarantine . Or what was it like for that process . Right away. So wednesday morning and i went instead of finishing my work shift i went and told my boss that i was sick, and she was really understanding and she set up a test for me that afternoon and i got a swab that afternoon but started quarantining on wednesday. I stayed the night in san jose because i had my little place. On the morning of the 26th i got the call i was positive and i drove home. Absolutely.

I havent been when i left there was one respirator mask per shift. Tough for a lot of hospitals out there. Brenna, thank you so much for joining us. Im glad youre feeling better. Thank you. We reached out to Kaiser Permanente ahead of this mornings interview. The hospital representatives telling us their top priority is safety of our patients and staff.
