MISCers who have had COVID, how was your experience like?

I haven't (although I'm getting a test for reasons, but I doubt I have it), and only known of a few who have COVID:

-A friend's friend caught it and was sick for about a week or two. Recovered. He's about 24 years old.

-A friend's cousin (18m) caught it and lost his sense of taste and smell. It's been about 6 weeks... still no sense of taste and smell. No sickness or anything else at this point.

-A friend knew of a doctor (or maybe she was a resident) who caught it and died. The girl was pretty young, probably around 27-29ish. She actually made the news in Houston, iirc.

Had it back in October. Fatigued for the first week.

Also lost sense of taste & smell for about 2.5 weeks but used that as a good opportunity to drop a few quarantine lbs.

1st week (12/01) - It started as a cold and a day later I got a high fever. That only lasted a day before I started developing a dry cough. By the end of the week I lost my sense of taste and smell (tested it by taking shots of Jack Daniels). I got tested on Sunday 12/06.

2nd week (12/08) - I developed shortness of breath and constant fatigue. It didn't feel like I couldn't catch my breath, but more like I couldn't take a satisfying deep breath. That changed as the week went on though, if I moved too fast or spoke more than a sentence or two at a time I would become winded and almost cough a lung out. My fever came back but it was a very mild fever. No chest pain at all. My results didn't come in until Friday and I tested positive.

12/12 - Finally started feeling better. I still have a cough but I don't feel out of breath anymore. I can taste and smell again (Tested it with shots of Bulleit Bourbon, buzzed right now). Hopefully by Tuesday (3 weeks in) I'll be back to normal.


Edit: I got it from my parents. They got sick as hell 2 weeks ago. I took them to the doctor, fed them, took care of them etc. They are both in their mid 50s. They both just got over it a couple of days ago.

See this symptom would **** with me. Like I wouldn't be able to focus on anything else.

Assuming you lift, are you able to do your normal routine?

In the beginning, after the high fever goes away and the shortness of breath starts, I could still workout but not being able to take a nice deep breath really fuks with you, then it makes you start coughing so it wasn't worth it.

Even though I believe I'm in recovery now, I'm just gonna take it slow and wait to workout until I feel 100% normal. Don't want to prolong this chit
