Zoey Deutch: "I had the coronavirus early on, before the shutdown"

Vulture

The Politician star tells Vulture she and a group of her friends all tested positive for coronavirus early on. "People keep asking me, 'Where did you get it?' and I wish I knew," she said. "I feel like I could have spoken in a more eloquent way about my experience had I known. I continued testing positive for a month, which is longer than they’re saying you’re supposed to. I’m okay now. I’m so grateful for my health and I also feel guilty, in a way, for making it out okay. I think this virus is bringing up so many conflicting emotions. I have to say I’m also so grateful for my inherent neuroses, which caused me to stay inside before I was supposed to. I’ve been quarantined longer than there was a mandated shut-in." Deutch says the reason she's coming forward now is because she's urging people to wear masks. "So many people don’t show symptoms, and my experience was that me and my friends who got it all had such drastically different symptoms," she said.
