I had it for a couple of weeks recently.
It was literally just an unshakable (but very tolerable) dry cough and low grade fever (no chills except one night in the beginning).
I can honestly say that covid-19 was the weakest virus I've had in my life.
the early few days I experienced extreme exhaustion. I was walking through the grocery store and became afraid that I would collapse in front of everyone. I ignored it because I had been dealing with a pretty intense amount of stress. About 2-3 into it I had a terrible headache for a few days. Then my eyeballs hurt, little heavy breathing and weird pain in my hips. It took me e few days to be suspicious enough to get tested. I started feeling bad on a Monday, got tested on friday, positive test results on the following Monday. More than anything it was just strange feeling. Nothing too severe other than a bit of fear about breathing. Once I knew that my breathing was going to be ok I was fine. After that your garden variety American arrogance set in. “I had it and I’m fine, bitches! Stop being pussies and go back to work!”
I respect people who are afraid but I’m never going to live my life afraid. I understand caution that I a point but shutting down the world is such a bad idea. If you’re scared then stay home. I’m not going to.
Did either of you wear masks? Just curious.
