My Covid-19 story

About 15 days ago I started to feel like crap. Not like the flu that puts you on your arse, just felt really blah. I had a slight temperature, never got above 99.5. About 13 days ago, the cough started. It's by far the worst part of the Covid. I went and got tested, and 10 days ago, the health dept. let me know I was positive. The only other symptom I noticed was that I was getting out of breath doing simple tasks. Like I would feel like I just went for a jog after after doing something as mundane as taking a shower. But as of today I feel fine. I still get a coughing spell every once in a while. All in all, I feel like this illness is way over hyped! It's slightly worse than a cold. Like really, this is what shut the world down?

We'll miss you.

Why do you want to kill grandpa?

Keep in mind that it may really depend on your age, overall health and physical conditioning. If you were out of breath, imagine how it may affect someone who has pneumonia, emphysema, heart failure or other cardiac issues, etc.
I am NOT saying that this whole thing hasn't been dealt with idiotically. I AM saying that it seems to be a serious illness that causes damage even in healthy individuals (I'd be curious to see how you feel in a few months and how your lungs heal) and, most importantly, we don't understand well at all and have no vaccines or medicine to combat it with.

If it saves just one life....

I'm 33 and of average health. I can see how this would frick old people up. The cough is the worst, most persistent cough I've ever experienced. Like coughing spells so bad you feel like you're gonna upchuck. But hardly anything to shut down entire countries for.

So you're 33 and in average health and you say that it feels like you just went for a jog after doing something like taking a shower
Yet you say it's not much worse than the cold
Seems like conflicting info

Wifes 94 year old grandmother had pneumonia back in Nov. and was in icu for almost a month. She was also diagnosed with congestive heart failure and is diabetic. Her son contracted Covid, so she was tested.
Positive.
First thoughts in anyone's mind, is she's doomed.
That was 2 weeks ago.
She has shown no signs of any sickness. I'm amazed to say the least.
Chemistry is different in all of us and only God has the gameplan.
Positive.

He listed that as a symptom along with bad coughing spells.
Read better.

Is that not true of other respiratory illnesses?
COVID is a virus. It kills some people.
Now what?

Have you made out your last will and testament? Just asking for your wife.
Posted on 7/2/20 at 2:47 pm to Zach
Honestly, it's something I need to do. Also neither my wife nor son have shown any signs of Covid, even though they both came up positive with me, but it effed me right in the a.

Exactly - the flu can kill a person with pre-existing conditions as well - the vaccine is not 100%
We never shut down for the flu before the vaccine was invented, hell, places didn’t shut down when polio was rampant

Glad you are well now but they just added you multiple times plus all your family...and maybe friends...perhaps multiple times for them as well...as positive cases to pad the numbers.
