Let Me Explain Studios Animator Recovering from Covid-19

Popular YouTube storytime animator Rebecca Parham announced that she is recovering from covid-19.

According to a statement Parham wrote on Twitter, she was diagnosed with a mild case of the virus two weeks ago but didn’t share news until now because she didn’t want to worry her fans. She said that her next video might be delayed as she recovers.

“From a firsthand account, the breathing struggles I’ve experienced in this mild case alone would put many of my loved ones with asthma and other pre-existing conditions in the hospital,” Parham said. “So I sincerely hope everyone is still staying home and staying safe for the love and protection of our elderly and immunocompromised.”
