An emergency physician at a hospital in Madrid has been documenting his experience with battling coronavirus on Twitter, after he contracted the virus while he was treating infected patients and had to go into isolation. Dr. Yale Tung Chen has been quarantined in his home since last Sunday and is currently on day 7 of his journey. The 35-year-old doctor, who first contracted the virus at Hospital Universitario La Paz where he works, has been posting clips of his daily ultrasounds and describing his symptoms, which have thus far included sore throat, headaches, dry cough, exhaustion, and diarrhea. In his ultrasound, a developing effusion can be seen, which has been known to lead to pneumonia in some patients. While he reports that he's feeling worse than before, he seems to be managing the illness well. His goal is to illustrate how patients exhibiting mild symptoms may not know they even have coronavirus.

Canadian Nuclear Plant Issues Terrifying Warning To Residents By Mistake
A false alarm left Canadians shook this morning.
An accidental emergency alert was sent out to millions of Canadians Sunday morning warning of an "incident" at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, leaving residents across Ontario in distress.
Within 30-minutes of the alert being sent out, nuclear plant officials tweeted that the message was sent in error. A spokesperson for Ontario Solicitor General Syl Jones says the alert was issued by staff at the provincial emergency operations centre during a training exercise.
"There was no radiological event," a statement from the power company to Buzzfeed News said. "The alert was issued in error."
Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan was particularly distressed by the notice and demanded on Twitter that a full investigation take place.
