I survived COVID19

[87National]

My 10 year old brought it home from school (teacher and 7 classmates also tested positive).

My symptoms were extremely mild....sore throat and headache. If not for the pandemic, I would have just shrugged it off and went about my daily life.

Anyone else here had it?

One of my employees had it. Moderately bad. My friends uncle died from it but his aunt only got a mild case.

Daughter in law had it. Mild. Lost her sense of taste and smell for a couple of weeks and had a pretty bad headache for a few days. Shes 30 and pretty healthy. Got it at her job. Shes an MRI/CT tech. That was in the beginning of it all. Wifes niece got it and had a harder time with it. Shes in her late 20s, real good shape and an ICU RN. She was pretty sick but got through it ok after 3 weeks. My son is an x ray tech at a pretty busy hospital and he was lucky. Same with my daughter. Shes a paramedic. One night 4 out of 7 calls were covid cases but she didnt get it at all. We were worried she would bring it home since she lives with me and my wife. So far we've been lucky.

I swear I've had it twice. First time back in June was real bad, but test came back negative. Had fevers, cough, and shortness of breath last week = ZFG. I'm all about herd immunity at this point. I do like working from home, though.

Herd immunity doesn’t work if you can get it twice.

Oh, do mean the same way flu vaccines have a 10% effectiveness? I wonder how many times C19 has mutated already.

The family and I had it back in May. My wife is a nurse and she brought it home from work. She had the worst of it. She has asthma, so her lung capacity is pretty lousy anyway. She had a cough, headache, muscle aches and pains, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Eventually, she developed secondary pneumonia. Once that was knocked down by antibiotics, she recovered. All told, it took three weeks. Meanwhile, I had milder symptoms. I had extreme fatigue for about a week, trouble breathing for a couple of days, and a cough for about ten days. At the end of it, I had a secondary eye infection. Our 14 year old son had a cough for a few days, and a headache for a couple of days. None of us lost taste/smell or had a fever. It wasn't life threatening, but we're not going to volunteer to do it again.

I may have had it, if anyone noticed some of my posts were tasteless ......

There is no herd immunity for the Flu. People get it every year. That’s why there’s a Flu shot.

Well, maybe I'm immune to C19 and C19.1, now?
