How is the world near you? (Coronavirus)

Hey there U2start family Checking in.

The situation got a bit worrying on Saturday morning with two very high fever spikes (>39ºC, 103F) and I rang 911 who told me to drop by the hospital to do some tests and see what was going on. They detected some pneumonia in my left lung and also some pleural swelling, nothing too worrying or dangerous but definitely something to take good care of before it evolved any further, so I was hospitalized for the rest of the Saturday and half of Sunday, when they thought it was ok to release me. Now I am "home-hospitalized" with the medics calling every few hours, an oximeter to measure the O2 saturation and more drugs than Keith Richards can ever dream of The worst part of it is that I have to inject myself some heparin in my belly, and it's a big bother (even if it's a small needle!). I guess one gets used to this, and I know many people do this for a living with heparin, insulin and others, but for me it's a first and it's really hard to take.

But I'm better, thankfully! The most dangerous phase seems to have gone and I hope to get over and done with this shit before this week ends.

Thank you all very much for your kind words. Having so much support from literally every corner of the world means a lot to me. Love you all

PS. Pics or didn't happen, right?

I’m really not great with needles so you having to inject yourself I can imagine how difficult that will be. Good to hear you’re getting better now though, wishing you a speedy recovery.
