Alyssa Milano took to twitter to showcase some of the side effects of the coronavirus.

Former Charmed actress, Alyssa Milano, is imploring people to ‘Wear a damn mask’ by showcasing some shocking side effects to COVID-19.

The 47-year-old actress took to twitter on Monday night to reveal her recent hair loss due to the virus.  She captioned the video by saying “‘Thought I’d show you what #Covid19 does to your hair. Please take this seriously.’”

Just last week, Milano explained how back in March she had  “every COVID-19 symptom” despite testing negative for the virus. On her Instagram account she explained how she continued to suffer from symptoms for months before finally taking a blood test that revealed that she had the virus.

She’s sharing her story to highlight how, in her opinion, the testing measures in place are flawed and she’s urging people to take every precaution necessary in order to fight the spread of this disease.

This was me on April 2nd after being sick for 2 weeks. I had never been this kind of sick. Everything hurt. Loss of smell. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t keep food in me. I lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks. I was confused. Low grade fever. And the headaches were horrible. I basically had every Covid symptom. At the very end of march I took two covid19 tests and both were negative. I also took a covid antibody test (the finger prick test) after I was feeling a bit better. NEGATIVE. After living the last 4 months with lingering symptoms like, vertigo, stomach abnormalities, irregular periods, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, zero short term memory, and general malaise, I went and got an antibody test from a blood draw (not the finger prick) from a lab. I am POSITIVE for covid antibodies. I had Covid19. I just want you to be aware that our testing system is flawed and we don’t know the real numbers. I also want you to know, this illness is not a hoax. I thought I was dying. It felt like I was dying. I will be donating my plasma with hopes that I might save a life. Please take care of yourselves. Please wash your hands and wear a mask and social distance. I don’t want anyone to feel the way I felt. Be well. I love you all (well, maybe not the trolls. Just the kind people.)❤️
