Me siento mucho mejor. Sin embargo, es importante que todos tomemos esto en serio y que todos sigamos las instrucciones del CDC para evitar lo más posible esta enfermedad y su propagación. Sigamos trabajando juntos para emerger más fuerte como nación de estos tiempos difíciles. pic.twitter.com/9X8AXROoGR
