WBRC (Birmingham) News Director Shannon Isbell says that she has the coronavirus and that she has infected other people with it.

Isbell wrote a piece for the station’s website saying that she and her entire family have COVID-19.

She says that she got sick, but figured she just had a cold. Turns out it was the ‘rona.

After feeling ill, she still made a trip. She writes, “I traveled to Montgomery the following day with a colleague for work. That mistake led to quarantine for my co-worker and four others who work at the TV station where we were training. Thankfully, none of them are showing symptoms. Nonetheless, I’m pretty sure I won’t be on their Christmas gift list this year. And I am guessing they have grown weary of hearing and reading apologies from me for exposing them to COVID-19. I was thinking of maybe sending them flowers or something. What says, “I’m sorry I exposed you to a deadly virus?” Maybe a care package with some vitamin C would be a better option.”

She left viewers with some advice, “If you’re sick, stay home. Even if you think it is allergies or a cold. I didn’t. And I exposed a bunch of people.

Renew your library card and download the app on your phone. It will give you something to do when you’re stuck at home for days and your family is on your nerves.

Buy some board games so you can pass the time with your family before you’re driving each other crazy.

And prepare for being sick. Have some cold meds on hand to treat the symptoms. Buy a couple boxes of tissues and some Epsom salts for hot baths.”
