Valerie tested positive for COVID-19. Her case was mild, but described it as 'unlike any illness I’ve ever had.' Her story:
was odd for me. On the whole, my case was quite mild. But even so, this was unlike any illness I’ve ever had – and it was incredibly scary.
After that I had a low-grade fever of 99 – that only lasted a day – then some sniffles and a cough that worsened for days and was pretty scary at its peak. The cough was weird too, though. Have you ever had a dry cough? Why would you need to cough if it’s dry you’d think, right? There’s nothing productive to get out and coughing doesn’t make you feel better. It just makes your throat hurt but my body still wanted to cough all the time.
But as scary as it was, I stayed at home by myself and pushed through. After another week or so, my health started to improve. My cough went away. My sense of taste has mostly returned, and my sense of smell is now coming back slowly. Right now, I can only smell things that are close to me.The seriousness of all of this has really hit me. The world feels scary. This thing is so contagious – it’s almost beyond our comprehension – and I was a carrier.
