[@pkentertainer1073]

Were u vaccinated before?

[@smaganas]

Have any symptoms returned. I understand that it take 2-4 weeks to clear at earliest

[@berlinachan6097]

What is your remedy?

[@karma3481]

I hate it idk what day I'm on but I just wanna die of how uncomfortable and painful this is, I'm 14 years old btw

[@ChildOL]

Yeah it sucks, you end up HOPING the sense of smell and taste come back because some people say months later still hasn't came back

[@aurorad7225]

Me and my whole family have Covid please pray for us

[@jooniur5984]

how are u guys doing????

[@genelawsjr5914]

I have 17 in my home who are infected by this virus the youngest is 2 months old and the oldest 55 which is me I have a daughter who is pregnant and due in may please remember us in your prayers..were from the Gila river Indian reservation in AZ it's very very bad here..my creator keep you all safe..

[@sonnyxlbright5904]

I hope the symptoms are bearable with you and your family. The hospitals can't do much for you unless you were dying. Best advice one can give is lots of rest and treat everyone in the family with a daily blast of vitamin D (about 5000iu) and about 50mg of Zinc. Along with that, blend yourself a concoction of lemon juice, lemon zest, ginger and garlic. Two heaped teaspoons of the concoction in a teacup and add boiling water. Stir in some honey if you've got some cough and that should soothe the itch in the back of the throat. Take every four hours and don't forget your antipyretics (paracetamol, aspirin or ibuprofen) to manage the chills and fever. It's what myself and the wife did to get through when we contracted the virus. Not guaranteeing that it would work for you but I can testify that it's got quite a few people I know, the necessary relief to carry on with daily life. Take care and good luck.

[@agotapongor2069]

Me too. Sunday, at 10th January my test was negative. I was at home alone in quarantine the whole week. Yesterday I had my second test which is positive. I have mild symptoms. I just worry that after 9 days my symptoms can not get worse. My cough and sore throat are better than yesterday. I mean milder. What about your symptoms?

[@johannesp5060]

My mother died from Covid-19. I miss her so much.

[@DUMPTHECHUMP]

I'm diabetic I have high blood pressure and severe sleep apnea quarantine for 5 months straight I was really scared. I was going to die if I got covid-19. Luckily when I tested positive I only had a light cough for 3 days. No other symptoms. I was truly blessed my heart goes out to all the people who did not make it

[@maxhr1749]

That was very fortunate. I’m happy you didn’t get very sick.

[@EvyC223]

It was mainly my sinuses hurting like crazy and having a headache! I’m 20 and am finally getting over it after 6-7 days of symptoms I’m so blessed it was a mild case. I pray for everyone with COVID

I‘m 23 and never had any health issues. I got corona one month ago and the worst symptom I got was a high resting pulse and palpitations. Went to the hospital after 3 weeks of not feeling any better and I got diagnosed with myocarditis because of the virus. It’s been a month now and I’m still not back to how I was before corona. Please guys take this virus serious!!

My son went to the hospital twice had panic attacks after covid heart racing chest pain and every other symptom. He caught from taking care of me and my husband. But I heard that long haulers that got vacine there symptoms went away and they did thank god he was so bad. My husband has copd he went to hispital right away and stayed there 3e weeks. They were very certain he would be ventalated because he wouldnt respond to anything but he pulled through. I had really bad covid coughed so bad I got a hernia, diarehia, headach severe body aches, had to take hydro for pain ,couldnt walk to bathroom so lethargic, lost taste and smell couldnt eat just crackers so I could take pills. High heart rate oxygen level 88 at times but went up fever everyday.

[@neyneyNunya]

A dear friend died from a massive heart attack he had while trying to get over Covid. He was 68, overweight, and had high blood pressure. It’s awful. He was a talented singer and musician as well as a good friend. Glad you and your husband recovered.

Plus being young and healthy just means *reduced* risk, not eliminated risk. Look at the then 16 year old (the video is somewhere on KZbin) who was hospitalised twice (with no underlying illnesses as far as I'm aware) early on. I really hope your sister makes it through, I'll be praying for her

For me, it was mainly fatigue but I had some aches and a "sore throat" but it was more like a fatigued throat gland for me and minor headaches.

[@bootsarmstrong8421]

Maybe this is why the virus is spreading so rapidly because many of the symptoms could be confused for something else.

[@alisonr9594]

I think so. And the symptoms for so many of us are very mild.

[@Carol-Bell]

Yes and I think that is why a vaccine is such a good idea (with the caveat of adequate testing, which it sounds like the Pfizer one has, but I wonder about the Moderna one). By the time you realize you have COVID, you have already spread it...

[@anonymoususer7602]

yup, an thats exactly why scientists have told us from the very beginning not to do unnecessary interactions with others, so that we don't unknowningly spread it...

[@RyanSpenceCoaching]

I agreed. I just thought I was overdoing it with work and didn't realize I had true fatigue. Then I had a trip I was planning to go on that I had to cancel because I didn't know if I had COVID or if it was just a regular cold.

[@robs1714]

I had covid three weeks ago positive. Started just like you congested, slight cough, headache on one side of head for two days, and in day 3 I lost my taste and smell for 6 days. Horrible. My entire family got it and thankfully we all got it mildly. My husband and twins (they’re 7) never lost his taste or smell but myself and my oldest son (16) did 🤷🏻‍♀️. Thankfully we are all feeling so much better.

My Sister got covid 19 a d ended up with pneumonia and in the hospital on a ventilator to help her breath......also in a coma lasted a little over a month and passed away on Dec.1st........It was such a sudden shock because she was doing great for about two days.......started retaining fluid and her organs were shutting down, blood levels were very low, little to no brain activity, blood pressure dropped into the teens and no response when they squeezed her hand and whatever else they did. She was from Iowa and 66 yrs.old...... .MISS HER SOOOOO VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

It's been rough but not impossible. I'm a healthy 41 year old. My exhaustion was high, congestion, coughing up mucus, slightly elevated temps, lower oxygen level (the lowest was 90-92 for about 2 days. I really think today I'll start to be more myself.

My Brother who is 70 had symptoms and felt fatigued got tested. It was positive. He drove to his beach house so hopefully his wife won’t get it. She tested negative. He’s been walking 5 to 7 miles in the sun daily on the beach. He sends videos and no one else is there. He said he feels pretty good. Just mild cold symptoms. He test his oxygen levels regularly and they’re always good.

[@barbie6336]

I had Covid about a month ago. I never lost my sense of taste or smell but everything I ate tasted bitter so I barely ate anything except fruits, veggies and tea for 2 weeks. Definitely had severe headaches, fatigue, and high fevers. My roommate who also tested Positive had some unusual symptoms besides the common one. He did have cold feet, sore wrist, and hair loss for 3 weeks. We are doing better now. Thanks for posting 🙏 Stay safe!

[@shaylynmarie9572]

Thanks for the video! This helps so much 🙏🏾❤️ I’m fully vaccinated Day 1: Throat irritation Day 2: Fever, Throat irritation, fever, headache, aches, congestion, weird smell, a little chill Day 3: Congestion, weird smell, fever Day 4: Weird smell, congestion Day 5: Smell is a little decreased Day 6: Smell is a little decreased Day 7: Smell is still on and off but not terrible. Let’s see the next 7 days 🙏🏾😬

[@saga4353]

What do you mean by weird smell? Like your sense of smell was off or you were smelling something weird? I had both actually, which is why I ask. I had this weird smell like it was penetrated in my nose. Very odd.

[@szzwzzn]

Same for me! Days 2-5 sucked the most

[@metallicaandchimaira]

Im also vaccinated. This is what I have been feeling: Day one: throat irritation Day two: mild fever, throat irritation I am now on day 3 and my fever went away but I still have throat irritation.

[@amirahabdi]

Have tested positive today, eventhu I was coughing, from two days ago, I have a headache took ibuprofen but headache still persisting. I’m sneezing second day had chills feeling cold but sweating I will take a PCR test today

[@Telthecelt]

Yes, glad you came through it without serious effects. I’m senior in U.K. who’s convinced he had it one year ago before it was officially over here. I had fever, persistent dry cough that had me aching and sleepless, and the loss of taste/smell resulting in nausea that had my doctor at a loss to find a cause. The fatigue was awful: I could barely drag myself upstairs . If I did have c19 I put my survival down to my general fitness which didn’t return for at least 12 weeks.

[@marshazeldin2350]

[@davidjam82]

Thanks for sharing I tested positive on Monday after feeling ill over the weekend and losing taste and smell and now I feel completely drained and finding it difficult to stand long feels like I’ve been hit with a truck 😔 prayers to anyone having to go through this and ones we have lost.

[@g2bk]

My symptoms were very much different for the most part. I had a little cough for two days and a bit of a scratchy throat. I also had a massive headache for two days and extreme fatigue. At that point I was refused a Covid test because I did not have ‘normal’ symptoms. My other symptoms started late on day 2 and continued for 4 days. Burning body aches. Pain in my arms, legs, feet and back. Neck ached and cause a minor headache at the base of my head. Also a fever of 102 degrees, steadily for all 4 days. I could not eat because the pain made me nauseous and it was really too much effort. In actuality, it was like going through chemotherapy again. I almost called for medical help twice, but decided against it. It was so bad my son in KS was packing to come to Florida. Then after day 4, it was gone. I still was fatigued but I could get up, sleep, and eat a little. On day 8, I was very much better and my doctor was still trying to get my county to give me a test. It was decided since I was better it wasn’t necessary. The antibodies test was how we determined it was Covid.

[@Josh-Kim]

Appreciate you sharing, Amber!! It’s interesting how everyone has a different combination of symptoms, if any at all. Hopefully you and Jacob only get better from here!

Thank you for sharing your COVID experience. This will help me know the red flags.

[@LeighPhillips78]

Yes, if you have a mild case. But aside from the respiratory problems we can monitor, there are some things we cannot see--the virus coagulates the blood, which can result in blood clots and dangers to the cardiovascular system and brain. My Uncle stayed at home as long as he could, and then the respiratory effects became dangerous enough to warrant the hospital. He spent three weeks there on oxygen, possible intubation...this was before they let some families see their loved ones in hospital, so there is much to imagine and endless grief. He lost his fight. He has never lost a fight in his whole life. Turns out my aunt ended up having a mild case of the virus at the same time he did, and she has an autoimmune disease , is more fragile. I was shocked that she came out on the other side of it fine and my uncle, a Navy man & firefighter, died from Covid in April. There are mild cases, and there are cases that require hospitalization. Taking temperatures before taking tylenol is important. It is a good clear indicator whether a patient trying to recover at home needs to relocate to the emergency room. If the fever is too high, it is telltale sign to go. The body is struggling too much to fight the infection, and very high fevers can leaf to brain damage & death. Since I have lost family to Covid, if I catch it I'm going to the hospital. My uncle's death destroyed the family and the last thing I want is to pass it on and be the person who ends up getting through it okay, while my partner, or my parents don't make it. I do not get flu shots each year but I WILL take the vaccine. This has to end somehow. I'm scared, but my family now is completely isolated from one another until Covid is gone. I don't want to lose years to this and never see my loved ones again. Sorry for the ramble, but I was just responding to recovery from home. It works for mild cases and family must be totally isolated away from the Covid Positive patient and that requires being super vigilant. The other point I had was again monitoring the situation by thermometer and Tylenol should absolutely be used, but take temps between doses to ensure the fever isn't exceedingly high--if it is, the body is struggling to fight the disease and again if it's exceedingly high, the body isn't winning the fight and might need a lot of extra help at a hospital.

[@grandmalisa796]

Depending on the severity of your disease.

[@lisadavis60]

Thank you for posting. I’m 28 and my husband is 32, we are certain we have covid but my test results are taking forever. I’m heading into day 6 of symptoms and had basically the same progression as you, except my day 1 was diarrhea/chills/aches/fever. I definitely thought it would be a ton of coughing but didn’t show up til yesterday. I know there are way worse symptoms people experience, and my lungs are in pain but really missing my taste and smells

Congrats ! You are amongst the 99.6% of people who contract covid and survive ! I had my bout of covid back in January. The cough was worst of all for me. It was so persistent and annoying . Couldn’t string a few words together without coughing my ass off . Lasted close to 2 wks

[@garyarmbrister]

Hey great presentation on both yours and your husbands symptoms. My wife tested negative on Tuesday but had all your symptoms and then tested positive on Thursday but is feeling better today on Christmas Eve. Late 60's . Dallas TX. No symptoms for me at this time. Merry Christmas.

[@rexmonarch2]

A month ago, my wife tested positive and she had a lite cough and was tired for a week. I had no symptoms. We are both 70. But similar to what the lady said we got hit with something a year ago that gave us both really intense bronchitis and laryngitis. My wife got tested and it was the common cold.

[@leandroluera3462]

Thank you, for your experiences. You have given hope and guidens to many scared folks. God Bless

[@janetchambers5284]

[@aronmedrano2720]

Yes god bless, my family might also have it, it’s tough times

[@kathyh4804]

Praying you recovery FAST 🙏🏻

[@ohdeergod]

Just got a positive test result today :( Day 1: Felt fine in the morning, started feeling achy, chills and tired by the evening. Day2: Bad headache, body aches, chills. Slept most of the day, after waking up fever had arrived (100.5). Loss of appetite. Slept another 12hrs. Day 3: Tested positive. Fever and mild nausea comes and goes in waves. Head ache is gone. Developing a mild occasional cough. No loss of taste / smell yet. Praying my symptoms remain mild...still have several days ahead that im sure will be unpleasant at best. Wishing everyone who has it the best of luck and a full recovery!

[@rosemarygonzalez1349]

😥 Wishing you a Speedy recovery please keep us posted it.

[@leleslie45]

I hope you both bounce back to your normal healthy selves soonest possible. Thank you for explaining the symptoms you had. Not all of us get the same set of symptoms and that is what makes this virus so hard to deal with.

[@chixbleau7321]

I hope you and your husband make a full recovery

[@svenkamog2232]

Excessive belching with diarrhea for 3 weeks, then full blown high fever and severe flu like symptoms. Night sweats for six weeks where my bed clothes were absolutely soaked every night, and waking up 3 - 4 times in the night gasping 😲 for air. 18 months later still suffering with stomach pains, chronic fatigue and acid reflux that just won't go away. It's true what people say we take our health for granted, and you end up wanting to cave your skull in through frustration... 😞

[@lostlatinlover]

While this helpful and well intended. If these are your symptoms, you are suffering mild/modest symptoms. I started having symptoms the first week in March (thanks to a friend that went to NYC in February for her birthday party with friends). I don't want people to think your mild symptoms are typical; they are not. It took me nearly three months to "recover". In June I had three brain MRIs to confirm those intense headaches that came with COVID were in fact mild strokes. I have also suffered heart damage and still struggle with the simplest of tasks. Worse yet is the ongoing "brain fog" that many others report. In all I am very lucky to be alive because I am 65 years old, diabetic and Hispanic; all those worked against me.

[@lostlatinlover]

I want to add to my comments that the loss of taste and smell vary greatly. For me, it seemed that NOTHING tasted right. Plus I simply could not eat. I was so very very fortunate to have my personal doctor living across the street, my wonderful son and his wife and my neighbors John and Maria checking on me twice each day for weeks and weeks and bringing me food and basics (like TP). I KNEW that I was finally on the mend when the SONIC Burger my son got me tasted AMAZING!

[@carolgleeson8743]

Thanks for the info, Amber, and I am very glad that you and hubby did not get very sick and are on the mend. The younger you are the easier it seems to be to recover. A friend of mine who is in his 60’s did not know he had Covid until he ended up in the ER with stroke symptoms, due to the vascular issues that it can bring on. That is scary! But then again, most of the symptoms are not severe and are so vague that I can see how someone would think they just have a cold or even allergies! Keep us updated on how you guys are doing!

[@CarolineBielskis1]

My symptoms were similar to both of yours, except mine started with a sore throat that got pretty bad for a couple of days. My taste and smell came back after 1 week.

[@joselyn4789]

I tested positive today. Started experiencing symptoms 4 days ago. Day 1: body aches and headache Day 2: AWFUL headache, body aches, chills, sore throat, low grade fever. 100.5 Day 3: headache, stuffy nose chills body aches getting slightly better. Day 4: sore throat, sporadic headaches, fatigue. I get tired very easily.

[@monicatorres3559]

How are you feeling now ?

[@garygiles3464]

Thank you for explaining this. I've seen videos about symptoms but no one explained it the way you have.

[@joannat1898]

I’m on day 8 of COVID and for me, the cough has been the worst; it is hacking, dry, and unproductive. I’ve also had diarrhea, severe chills/body aches, and a horrible sore throat. Congestion, loss of taste, painful headaches, and a burning nose-like in my nostrils, which I’ve never felt before-have been other symptoms for me. The exhaustion and fatigue has been awful too.

[@scruffyscrubs5468]

Your symptoms are pretty much in line for what my daughter experienced and she had it for about a week and a half. Her taste and smell came back several days after that. She's about your age.

[@esetapowell7662]

Appreciate this. Speedy recovery and Peace from Fiji.

[@jjay1137]

Thank you for your sharing. God bless you. I recently just got some of the symptoms: sore throat and itchy throat. Second day: headache developed, sore throat, stuffy nose, muscle ache, cold feet. I will go test out tomorrow.

[@a.phillips6892]

Thank you for posting this, I hope you both feel well now!🙂

[@gitonyaparker21]

Thanks for sharing. I tested positive seven days ago. This is NO JOKE. Smell and taste coming back slowly. I don’t think my palate will ever be the same.

[@ChrissaSD]

Thank you for sharing both of your experiences. It's very important for this information to be out here. Blessings to you both.

[@jimhayes1432]

I hope you and your husband are doing well now. I enjoyed your video and you are providing a service here for people to share with each other their experiences. This is just about a year now we have been dealing with Covid. It has been a learning year as none of us ever dealth with such a horrible sickness. A sickness that is mild for some, yet a death sentence for others. We just don't know all that much about it, so your video definitely serves a person for people to talk and share info. I had Covid and was sick with it for a good 3 weeks if not more. It was strange as I displayed symptoms in Oct and then again in Dec that were much worse. I would be told by the doctor that she felt I had it but the tests were showing negative. I was given 2 other tests the Covid Antibody and a test that shows infection and or inflamatory conditions are present in the body. I tested positive for both tests. So I have had Covid and alot of lasting side effects that are slowly wearing off. I had at the start a terrible headache, severe nasal congestion and a bad cough. Very bad chills and a slight temperature that flutuated. I had no appetite and food tasted very very strange. I can't explain the taste and smell thing it is weird and evidently some of us have different experiences with it. I became completely fatigued and stayed in bed both to keep warm from the awful chills and I just wanted to sleep it seems. I also had a bad rash as if I had measles, and a urinary infection developed. I had no Christmas as I was so sick and about the 8th of January started getting better. I got better very quickly and regained all my senses and strength. I still have some difficulty breathing and some chest congestion. These are minor now thankfully. So I'm doing well and hope everyone else is also. Its a very serious virus and I wish more people took it seriously, and did not politicize it as has happened. Stay Safe.

[@td7456]

Amber, thank you for this very important, informative video! Glad you good folks are doing better! I'm 64 with several comorbidities, so we are very cautious with what we do! Looking forward to the next vid!

[@AmberAlpine]

I hope you are able to stay far away, and that a vaccine is available soon!

[@shaheedawilliam498]

My symptoms day one was a stream of mucus running down from my upper respiratory track draining down into my throat. Next morning I woke up with palpitations and very breathless. I barely made it to the toilet. I forced myself to boil some herbs and as these came to a boil I noticed that the vapour (NOT STEAM), gave me some relief. (I had just mild throat irritation, no headaches, thank God!) I drank the concoction, rubbed black seed oil mixed with eucalyptus and clove oil and started doing breathing exercises as I forced myself to cough out the phlegm. The palpitations receded and I felt sleepy so I slept for about 45minutes to an hour and woke up gasping for breath. I started the whole cycle all over again. For the next 5-7 days this was my life. I made sure I did physical movements to get my circulation going in addition to using essential oils to help with this. I made a pot of lentil soup with a good amount of garlic, ginger, Cayenne pepper, tumeric, black pepper. I chewed dried chamomile mixed with black seeds to break up mucus. I got the secondary infection, I could tell because I started to cough up yellow phlegm.. I used Tea Tree oil, clove oil, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil in a carrier oil to rub on my back and chest. I also inhaled these oils during my deep breathing exercises. The yellow in the phlegm cleared after a few days, I can't remember how many days. By day 9 I thought I was over the worst of it. Day 10 it was back except for the secondary infection. I continued with the therapies through out. I was more or less clear by day 14. This was in July. I still continue with the black seed oil and chewing the dry black seeds and chamomile also a few drops of the black seed oil. Covid is brutal, its no joke, I prayed throughout!!!

[@jaquancrump7316]

Yo I have a question?

[@snowblo1]

Wow, thanks so much for that detailed description. I'm now going through Covid for a second time & this time around I've lost my sense of smell. So devastating. And I'm wondering where I can get dried chamomile? From the tea bags? I've also got some excess mucus going on.

[@stephanieescobedo5147]

@shaheedawilliam Hello, I’m glad you were able to get through this. I’m praying everyday I get through this as well. I’m on day 5 and I feel as though I might have came down with pneumonia bc I can’t stop coughing and I have somewhat of a yellow phlegm when I cough. May I know which herbs you used to make your tea?

[@wannettarindom7946]

I am so proud that you getting better God bless you both And I pray for a speedy recovery there's been so many people of all ages they have died and had terrible symptoms

[@aryd2141]

Thank you for this video! I am currently fighting Covid and our symptoms are almost exact! My glands were the first symptom. I’m glad you are better!

[@candido11471]

How long it took you to recover at least to 90%?

[@maliksutton6634]

Hi Amber, you and your husband will get through this and stay strong. I will keep your household in my prayers and I'm here if you need advice or a friend.

[@AmberAlpine]

Thank you! I hope you are able to avoid it, and that a safe vaccine is available soon!

[@radostinadimova3748]

Thank you for sharing your symptoms. It’s my 6th day and my symptoms are 1:1 with yours, except for I did have a mild fever. I think I carried a few days prior to muscle aches and so on, with a heavy headache, sneezing but otherwise pretty OK.

[@daledupont3772]

I had a mild case. No temp, but congestion. But then prayed and had friends praying too. After three days most symsptoms went away.

[@ulivolga228]

Day 1 absolute! achey skin! light headedness Day 2 Poor sleep, full body achyness. no fever, no cough Day 3 achey skin, lower sense of smell, cough. Day 4 Dopey brain. Day 5 Headache, mild cough

[@marybailey-gates3116]

My first symptoms was a massive headache and feeling like my chest was being crushed.I remember the next day I had vomited a few times and then that it but I had no appetite.I didn't lose my taste and smell exactly but everything I ate tasted bitter and or putrid and that was weird.I had alot of night sweats and my body temp got up to 101.9 which freaked me out a bit because I usually don't burn up that high.It took about two months before I was able to truly breathe normally and I was also dealing with some brain fog.

[@iriscruz7933]

I have mild symptoms thank You Jesus 🙏

[@beebuffalo1582]

Thanks for sharing your an angel doing a public service. Hope you and your husband have a safe recovery. This virus is serious and nothin to play with. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.

[@justbenelson]

I'd like to speak on behalf of a fully vaccinated 39 year old male who currently has it in September of 2021. I'm convinced my wife and all three of my kids had it before I contracted it, but their symptoms were mild and short-lived, including my T1 diabetic 8 year old daughter. My first symptom was a mild sinus irritant that felt very similar to the beginnings of a common cold. Day 2 my sinus area and throat were infected. Day 3 I was surprised to feel a lot better. Day 4 I woke up still feeling well but as the day went on my sinus area felt like it did on day two. Day 5 I woke up feeling like I was battling a bad head cold and I was sneezing a lot. I took a nap in the afternoon and woke up feeling like I had the flu, complete with body aches and lethargy. Day 6 I woke up feeling good other than my ongoing sinus issue, so I did some yard work. Lunch didn't seem appealing and I could tell I was starting to lose my sense of smell and taste. I took a nap on the couch and when I woke up I again felt like I had the flu but twice a bad as the previous day with a fever of 101+ degrees...which brings me to day. I woke up with my nose running like a faucet and I'm completely congested. I'm a bit dizzy when I walk and I can now feel some pressure on my chest. I'm sooooo ready for this to be over with, but I'm just thankful the rest of the family didn't experience the gamut of symptoms I'm experiencing. I wish I could experiencing an alternative universe what I would've experienced if I hadn't been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer shot. Would I be in the hospital right now on a respirator or would I be experiencing the exact same symptoms? I'm curious because I'm experiencing just about everything any normal, healthy 39 year old unvaccinated male would typically experience - expect perhaps it's the Delta variant I have but the data doesn't necessarily conclude (as of right now) that it's more deadly than the other variants.

[@jackiekeel3558]

Your recount of covid is exactly how mine went. I’m on day 14. Lost taste and smell for 7 days. Thank god it’s back!! Glad you’re ok!

[@kristinbailey6280]

[@helenndow1101]

Tested positive about 30 days ago. Still get hit fatigue which is really getting old, but compared to many stories I have heard, I feel very lucky. Glad we are sharing our, although unique, stories.

[@catb7524]

I have Covid right now, just found out yesterday, but I've had it for 4 days now and everything you've said I am going through. This has definitely helped, thank you.
