COVID-19 IS A CONTINUUM

COVID-19 IS A CONTINUUM

I want to hopefully shed some light amid the confusion. There is a continuum of COVID-19 in between “you die” and “you get over it and return to normal.” Today is day 31 for me. I tested negative on day 27. Yesterday out of nowhere, I was hit with crippling fatigue and chills. My cough is almost gone, and I’ve been fever-free for two weeks, but when it comes to COVID-19, testing negative doesn’t mean it’s over.

COVID-19: AM/WAS I INFECTED?

It was a long direct flight home on March 13, a Friday; I felt trapped, wondering when it would be over. It was the first time in a long time that I felt sick on a plane. Coincidentally, the last time was during the Ebola scare in 2014.
