J.K. Rowling Believes She Had COVID-19, But She’s Fully Recovered Now
It’s entirely appropriate that J.K. Rowling’s name has finally started trending in the time of COVID-19. After all, “coronavirus” absolutely sounds like the spell a wizard nurse at the Hogsmeade STD clinic would use on Ron Weasley after he returned from a wild n’ messy spring preak. But you don’t have to worry that hard about J.K. Rowling’s current condition, because she claims she’s fully recovered from what she believes were COVID-19 symptoms.
J.K. hopped on Twitter yesterday, the same day it was revealed UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was moved to ICU due to COVID-19 complications, with her thoughts on how to tackle the virus at home. According to J.K., she had all the symptoms, but wasn’t tested. Regardless of her unknown diagnosis, she remained at home and practiced some breathing techniques, which she claims helped her to successfully recover after two weeks ill. It might sound like J.K. Rowling is yet another famous person using social media to spread irresponsible advice about corona. But J.K. assures us this all came straight from her husband of 19 years, Neil Murray, who is a doctor. The video in question features a doctor and a nurse from Queens Hospital in London, explaining a technique that involves breathing and coughing, that they claim will allegedly alleviate symptoms, and slow infection.
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

And now J.K. Rowling is back to normal, she can return to…well, pretty much what she was doing while she was sick, I guess.
Let's see… so far, I've done loads of writing, chatted to friends digitally, baked cakes, reorganised my bookshelves, forced my teenage kids to play board games with me & set them books to read, played with the dogs & come back to Twitter, which I thought I'd left forever 🤷♀️ https://t.co/iE6Bxsr4Q0

Of course, it didn’t take long for some people on Twitter to point out that unless you’ve been tested, you might not want to self-diagnose. Others mentioned that if you think you’ve got corona, you should probably take yourself to the hospital. And of course, it wasn’t long before it was suggested that J.K. was quicker to believe she had corona than she believes that trans people exist. But on the other side of this Twitter mess, there were people thanking J.K. for sharing some medical advice to those at home.
I know J.K. Rowling thinks she’s helping by tweeting breathing videos, but what she doesn’t understand is that there’s one very clear way she can use her personal resources to help more. Everyone is stuck inside, and horny. And that includes all the kinky Potter fans. J.K., it’s time for you to write some raunchy wizarding universe smut. There’s a whole community that would fully appreciate knowing more about who is gripping whose broomstick.
