Here’s my thermometer for temperature tech checks during the day. I have *** stationary bike for exercise, *** recliner, my bed, and *** desk. The room is very spacious and comfortable. I can have stuff sent here, uh, for the duration of my stay, so I’m definitely gonna be getting some things for me to feel more at home and more comfortable. Um, but yeah, I’m hoping to give more updates while I’m here. I’m feeling well. Uh, I wanna Address some information that went around yesterday that there was an article with my image saying that I was the American that tested positive. Um, it was *** little misleading. In the caption, it said that there was someone who tested positive and then also addressed that I’m at the quarantine unit. I am not the person who tested positive. I’m feeling well. I’m in relatively good spirits, and I hope to be able to keep you all *** little more updated throughout this process.
