my sister is 22 and rarely falls sick. she tested positive for COVID-19. her symptoms started light— she had no suspicions of anything serious but they got intense really quickly. here’s a thread of her symptoms, incase it helps anyone who needs it.

days 1-2: burning eyes, runny nose and muscle aches. that feeling where she would have done anything for a massage.

days 3-4: fever kicked in and progressively got worse

day 5: everything was the same but she completely lost her sense of taste and smell, and she started coughing

day 6: major abdominal pain (centered) with back pain in the same area

day 7: last day of her fever, but she developed nausea and couldn’t eat much. this is the day she was eligible to get tested.

days 8-10: all the symptoms listed above stayed consistent.

days 11-12: finally started slowly recovering

day 13: (today) she still has no taste or smell and a slight cough, but she’s mostly better. she only got her results back recently, which was much after she started showing symptoms.

take this thread as a warning that it could happen to ANYONE at any point. my sister is young and had no health conditions. don’t be stupid, stay home and don’t interact with anyone besides those who live with you.
