Thought I would relate the experience of my wife and I after we tested Positive for the virus. We know exactly how we contracted it. Her father was in a nursing home where he was at end of life. We visited him daily and were informed by staff AFTER he passed on that he had tested Positive for Covid 19. To say we were pissed is putting it mildly. About one week after our exposure my wife developed symptoms including fatigue, shortness of breath, slight fever and muscle aches. She recovered in about one week and is now out from under quarantine and feels fine.
In my case it was a total non event. No symptoms, no fever and felt just fine the entire time. If I hadn't received a call from the Health Dept telling me of my positive test, I would have never known I had it. My mother in law(age 74) also was positive and had no symptoms.
We have all heard the horror stores and media focus of those on ventilators and those who died. As tragic as those cases are, I think we need to keep in mind that the vast majority of those who contract it do recover. I count my blessings and frankly am a little relieved that I am now beyond the fear of contracting it...been there..done that!
