Have you experienced COVID?

What experience have you had directly with the disease. Share your stories here.

My daughter tested positive 2 weeks ago. I was on a mandatory 14-day stay away from work as a result. We all got tested, my 2 sons, wife, and grand-daughter, and all tested negative. My daughter who was positive is 18 and had very minor symptoms. Feel crappy for a few days, tired, headache. No sore throat or anything. Lasted maybe 4 days. Within 6 she felt fine, no symptoms remaining.

Talked to a friend this morning who is in his late 30,s not good shape but not bad shape either who tested positive about a month ago. He said he had no fever but really really bad headaches, some body aches, lost his sense of smell and taste, very bad shortness of breath and tightness in his chest. He said he had horrible symptoms for about 3 weeks and it was the sickest he had ever been. Its been about a month now he said and he is feeling mostly better but said he still gets winded from just a short simple walk.
Sounded really crappy.

My mom, more than likely, died from it in July. She asphyxiated in her sleep and had pneumonia.
Still waiting on reports.

My test just came back negative.

Hope you and your family are OK.
Scary stuff.

I know a couple people personally who have had it. One is an avid long distance runner. She had a horrible experience. Major symptoms. Major respiratory issues. Months later she said she still got winded climbing a flight of stairs. Another guy said he felt like allergies were acting up and that it lasted about a week. A third had no symptoms.

Two students with positive tests.

Two colleagues got it in June. Both are in their early 40s and in good shape. They both said that they’ve never been so sick. They were sick for two weeks and still don’t feel normal.

A man in our ward died, leaving behind 5 children. I didn’t know him but I know He had some preconditions. Another family in our ward had it. The parents were in their early 50s and the father was very out of shape. After a few weeks though they were over it.

Some of my wife’s cousins have had it. One’s a doctor in Vegas and he was down for 3 weeks. Not sure if he’s having any side effects. His wife got it from him but really didn’t seem to get too badly sick. She was over it in a few weeks without too much of a problem.

My brother was extremely sick in December. He had been traveling abroad. He was never tested for it (we didn’t know about it back then and tests didn’t exist). However, looking back at it now we think he could’ve had it. He was tested for flu and strep, both negative. Doctor told him that he had a bad unidentifiable virus. He had almost all of the symptoms now associated with covid; loss of smell/taste, sore throat, difficulty breathing, fatigue, brain fog, etc for 3 weeks.

My wife and I have taken it very seriously. We haven’t eaten in restaurant since March. We do carry out/drive thru and only go to the grocery store once a week and at odd hours to avoid large crowds. We wear masks, use hand sanitizer nonstop, and haven’t gone to church since this began. My parents are getting old and we’ve missed both of their birthdays during the pandemic. We’ve talked to them at a distance. But it sucks that we can’t get together and have a good dinner.

We really don’t want to get sick with this. What’s weird is the wide range of symptoms and the severity of them. A person could suffer from a few aches and a sore throat or be taken down for weeks and suffer long-term effects for months. It feels like this year was stolen from us by this damned virus and Donald’s wretched response to it. The virus wasn’t his fault but his lack of empathy for others has really cost us our families and memories we should’ve had with them. Time that we’ll never get back.

Not close but a weird story to hear: a colleague of mine had some lady relative who goes into the kitchen to see the corns boiling. Complains about the corns not having any smell and argues if these are genetically modified corns. Her sister comes in to check what she is talking about, only to realize the entire kitchen is filled with corn smell. Then she got tested and diagnosed positive. No other symptoms at all.

Friend of my cousin died from it, 53, 3 kids, he was receiving treatment for leukaemia in hospital when he caught it. 4 of the blokes I work with got it, one ended up on a ventilator but pulled through, two of the others said it knocked them on their arse from day 6 to 10, one of the others still has lasting after effects.

My little sister had the ***** for like a week, but other than that thankfully all seemingly minor cases among people I know. Thoughts to those who've lost anyone.

This is a stupid, lazy poll. Feels like one of the idiot, on line polls you take to see if you are really in love or what Norse god you are.

So which Norse god are you in love with?

It's crazy how varied the symptoms are. I know that the Flu can be less serious or more serious (to the point of causing death) but it doesn't seem like it presents the same symptom bingo that COVID does.

Nah those polls are predictably always flattering.
Like what celebrity do you look like? It's always a handsome actor or beautiful singer or whatever. It's never norm from cheers or Rosie o donnel.

This poll/thread has a lot of variance and I'm curious to hear what has happened to people since the pool of people I know who have had it and can draw info from is pretty small.

That l know of, I have 7 relatives who tested positive. 4 in NY/NJ and 3 in Texas. 1 was hospitalized but only briefly - had no pre existing conditions.

My brother almost certainly had it being his wife had it.

My wife and l most likely had it late February - about 2 weeks before the **** hit the fan. We were both sick with flu like symptoms we've never experienced in our lives. My wife has been tested about 6 or 7 times being she's a DOH employee - all negative. I've never been tested.

If you've already had it then a standard nose swab won't show it. It needs to be a blood test at that point, check for antigens.
