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.

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

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
