Just recovering from a severe bout of Covid (symptoms & PCR tested). Ahead of it I thought it was exaggerated at best and for the first 3 days chuckled away on conferences at work with people saying how well I looked considering etc. Then it fucking hit and I can tell you that when you get over the initial first days, the recovery effects are what gets you. I had zero appetite, fluid on my lungs, and couldn't tell if I was awake or asleep. I can see how it can be fatal to old and infirm or underlying health factors as I was fit and healthy until this hit me. Whatever your views on vaccinations, please take this illness seriously as when you get it you'll know about it. Now I've got to invent a story as to why I've not made a sound in 7 days (either that or admit that Covid was worse than expected).

I know some of you hate to hear it's a real illness, but I was skeptical too until day 4 - feel free to bitch and moan if you like.

It can be problematic for older folks, folks with health problems, people with vitamin d issues, etc. I know nothing about you but I assume that you must be older with health conditions because most young and healthy folk recover easily. I am glad that you are still among the living.
