US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy announced Friday that he has tested positive for Covid-19
Murthy wrote in a long thread on Twitter that his wife and 5-year-old son were also positive for the virus and had mild symptoms. His 4-year-old daughter, who was the first in his family to test positive, is"doing ok" and has an improving fever days after he announced that she has the virus, he added.
Nothing can," the surgeon general said."So if you've done everything you can and gotten COVID-19 anyway, don't beat yourself up. A lot of us are doing the best we can. And let's not assume those who get sick are careless. We don't know people's circumstances. They may not be able to protect themselves the way we can," he added.
