In this March 14, 2020 photo, German legal practitioner Karoline Preisler lays in the bed of a hospital while being treated for COVID-19 respiratory disease in Stralsund, Germany. Lonely, frightened and unwell, Preisler turned to the internet for information from other patients but didnt find many first-hand accounts of living with and fighting the virus. So she decided to share her experience on Twitter. (Karoline Preisler via AP)
