Two Months after Infection, COVID-19 Symptoms Persist... How are Soylentils Holding Up?
martyb writes:The SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic has been with us for over six months. A recent check of https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ reveals just over 13 million cases, with over a half million deaths, and 4.9 million of which are listed as active. On a positive note, 7.6 million are listed as recovered.Unfortunately, recovered does not necessarily mean being back to the same shape someone was in pre-infection (see below).Statistically, there are bound to be some Soylentils who have been infected (or had friends or family members who were).I'd like to offer an opportunity for us to pull together and share our collective experiences. If you've made it through, telling others of how it went can be helpful both for the one who shares, and also for those who were recently diagnosed. Fears, doubts, and worries act to drain energy better directed to recovery.NB: Please be mindful that "the internet never forgets". I encourage all who respond to make use of posting anonymously.With that caution, what has been your experience? How long between time of infection and onset of symptoms? How bad was it? How are things now? What do you know now that you wish you knew earlier? What did you hear about earlier but didn't realize they meant that?Penultimately, I realize words are inadequate, but I sincerely wish and hope that all can be spared from this malady, and those who have been afflicted may have a speedy and full recovery.Unfortunately, it looks like that may not be as likely as we would all hope and wish for...Read more of this story at SoylentNews.
