Businessman falls ill: 'All of Tel Aviv is infected, masses with symptoms are not being tested''

July 19, 2020   

Businessman Roni Mane, who contracted the coronavirus, spoke today (Sunday) on the Savings program on News 12 about the difficult period when he contracted the virus. "In the first wave, I was very careful, I took care of myself," Mane said. "A friend who met me told me to come to a party. And I went, and then I was stuck at home for 3 weeks. It was a difficult period that I don't want to remember. The virus is deadly, the symptoms remain after you recover - muscle pain, memory loss and loss of taste." Mane addressed those who underestimate the coronavirus. "If Prof. Less had met a coronavirus patient, he would have discovered the disease. It's not the flu or anything like that. I had three friends who were infected, and two of them almost died, and I felt a catastrophe too." The isolation period, Mane said, also adds a lot to the difficulty of the disease. "They throw you around like a dog, people are afraid to get close to you, I have children that I couldn't get close to," he said. Mana also emphasized how important it is to protect yourself: "Anyone who doesn't wear a mask is a criminal. Anyone who wears a mask cannot get infected. My driver wore a mask and didn't get infected. ''There was a laxity here and a serious problem with the information, I was also part of it. All of Tel Aviv is infected, masses of people with symptoms who are not going to get tested,",
