When Shantay Carter first got sick, she thought it was the flu.

“I’ve never had the flu,” said Carter, who is a nurse and the founder of a nonprofit in her community. What started as a sore throat turned out to be the CCP virus, known as novel coronavirus. But almost exactly two weeks after testing positive, Carter has recovered.
