Carl Goldman is a 67 year old radio station owner from California who was quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Goldman said he didn’t feel sick until he was on a plan ride heading home from the cruise quarantine, while on the plane his fever spiked to 103 and he was then taken to a Nebraska Bio-containment Facility.
It’s just kind of funny. Who would’ve thought my 67th birthday would’ve been in the biocontainment center in Omaha?
Carl says he needs to have a negative coronavirus test 3 days in a row in order to be released from the biocontaionment unit. He says “the test is pretty elaborate, they stick a swab deep into each nostril and deep down your throat for 5 seconds each, its not a pleasant process.”
*UPDATE – Carl Goldman was released on March 16th after he posted his 3rd negative coronavirus! – more details here.
Carl had the virus for more than a month and is documenting his recovery on his radio station’s website.
