Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling said in a Monday Twitter thread that she’s “completely recovered” after experiencing coronavirus symptoms. The author clarified that she had not been tested for COVID-19 but had been experiencing “all symptoms” of the virus for the “last 2 weeks.” In her thread, she also shared a video of a doctor demonstrating a breathing technique for those experiencing coronavirus-like symptoms. “I’m fully recovered & technique helped a lot,” adding that she wanted to “share a technique that’s recommended by doctors, costs nothing, has no nasty side effects but could help you/your loved ones a lot, as it did me.”
Please watch this doc from Queens Hospital explain how to relieve respiratory symptoms. For last 2 weeks I've had all symptoms of C19 (tho haven't been tested) & did this on doc husband's advice. I'm fully recovered & technique helped a lot.https://t.co/xo8AansUvc via @YouTube
