In this March 12, 2020, photo, a face mask and protective gear provided by a doctor are lying on the floor at the home of German legal practitioner Karoline Preisler in Barth, Germany. Lonely, frightened and unwell, Preisler turned to the internet for information from other patients but didn’t find many first-hand accounts of living with and fighting the virus. So she decided to share her experience on Twitter. (Courtesy of Karoline Preisler via AP)
