I got it a few weeks ago. It was absolutely awful. Never been that sick in my life. Still dealing with symptoms weeks later.

I have Covid right now. Hard to breathe, fever so bad I can't stop shaking and Tylenol doesn't make it go down, bad cough, and headache

I have a friend who got Covid a day before her trip to Europe. She reported herself to the airline but they told her there is NO restriction of any kind. So she went ahead and flew. And you wonder why infection rate is going up again.

If we learned anything from the last round of COVID infections, we need to keep our weight under control.

I’m on my 5th day with Covid. It started off with a sore throat then I started to have an itchy cough after my nose was congested then finally fever, body aches and I couldn’t taste or smell. And now my 1 year old baby is sick with Covid . Be safe world

See how her wishing him good health/ speedy recovery brightened up his smile considerably

You should do what I do. I wear a mask, face sheild, three pairs of gloves, And turn the AC off while I'm driving around in my car to keep the virus from coming through the vents.

I caught covid from Lollapalooza, and a lot of people who went caught it from there. Even Tom from Blink-182, who headlined Sunday night, caught it as well

[caiusoof]

I don’t understand so if people have common cold they already consider as Covid? It summer everyone has air conditioners on their houses right ? We get cold from cold air.:

[MichaelLouis-cshj]

So why government is not talking about this and they are going to wait until COVID get out of control

[kingpinsmith]
