Actress Olivia Nikkanen, best known for starring in TV shows such as The Society and Supergirl, has been trending recently for her coronavirus diagnosis post, which she revealed on March 20. In her post, the actress revealed she was on her way to completely recuperate from her condition during her quarantined period at home and that she considers her situation a "privilege". Olivia also infused a bit of humour to her post and said she has only been touching her face just a few times: "Health update. Just some news! Only touched my face a couple of times and washed my hands after, I promise! I feel extremely lucky to be able to stay home and fully recover. It is a privilege, though it should be a right."

On this note, Olivia Nikkanen added that: "If you are also in that position, please think about the people who are not able to take time off work or take time off of caring for people. We have to make room for those who cannot make anymore sacrifices in their lives. We are living in an unprecedented time that will no doubt change history forever and no person should be left behind. If I can flatten the curve and protect those at risk, I will do so gladly. I hope you will, too."

My mom and I have been isolating in our apartment for the past 16 days and will continue to do so until it is safe for others, but this is a wonderful reminder that we are all in this together. I'm including a list of organizations that you can donate to and the list that @berniesanders has on his page! Being stuck inside does not mean we can't help move our world forward and give to those who are putting their lives on the line for us. If you can, please consider donating!! And please consider playing Frank Sinatra outside your window so we can sing along! #clapbecausewecare
