    Terrible. Praying for you all. But also hope you have an oximeter or whatever. If your oxygen drops need to go to the emergency room.

    Start on page 8. Get a simple finger oxygen monitor. If it starts to go below 94 then going to the hospital might be a good precaution. Some of the cheaper ones aren't super reliable, but if oxygen starts to dip then maybe think about getting more treatment.

    I've had covid and didn't realize it until basically after that I had it. I did have some pretty significant fatigue issues when I was getting back to working out. If you do workout take your time coming back and don't push yourself hard. I've also been exposed to covid again recently at the gym so I'm pretty sure I've got immunity at this point.

    Third this suggestion.

    My wife and I had it. Symptoms were very luckily mild for us. We suspect we got it from her uncle(RIP, not as lucky) who my wife took to the ER. My wife's symptoms hit about 6-7 days after exposure, and mine 6-7 days after that. Mostly felt like a sinus infection for me except for running out of juice around 3pm and lots of sleeping. The PulseOx was a nice piece of comfort for us as the sleeping a lot was only thing that worried me. That and Diet Dr. Pepper tasting bitter as hell for a couple of days.

    WTF:

    “Simon Wessely, regius professor of psychiatry at King’s College London, said the finding that those with mental health disorders are also at higher risk of getting COVID-19 echoed similar findings in previous infectious disease outbreaks.”

    They used the term "mental illness" which makes it sound much worse than the issues they identified.

    I'm guessing anxiety, depression, or insomnia are issues after any serious viral infection.

    It also occures after other infections it seems, but in the case of Covid more than twice as much according to their study.

    Can you link the study because I didn’t see it in the article?

    I just reread it and noticed I missed this funny gem.

    “The study also found that people with a pre-existing mental illness were 65% more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19 than those without”

    lol what does that even mean?

    That quote is in the article:
    "In the three months following testing positive for COVID-19, 1 in 5 survivors were recorded as having a first time diagnosis of anxiety, depression or insomnia. This was about twice as likely as for other groups of patients in the same period, the researchers said."

    It means that people with a pre-existing mental illness are twice as likely to contract Covid, at least if you go by known diagnosed cases.

    The article didn't link the study, but I found it:
    https://www.thelancet.com/journals/...study,disorder, depression, and schizophrenia.
