During my SEVEN WEEKS of coronavirus infection, I have had little interest in yelling at people to stay home, but this new data is scary, and maybe it& #39;s helpful if I share my story. It& #39;s a possible outcome for anyone, regardless of health or age. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/05/12/us/coronavirus-reopening-shutdown.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage">https://www.nytimes.com/interacti...
I haven& #39;t been able to stand for more than about 10 minutes without getting dizzy since March 19th-ish. I& #39;m more mobile now, but even still last week (week 6 for those counting) my fever came back and I started a very dramatic gasping thing.
Obviously, the messages about not spreading to others aren& #39;t working. fine. you don& #39;t want this!! the virus is awful, navigating healthcare in the unknown is frightening, and everyone has a bad opinion about what you should do!! and you barely have enough breath to shut them up.
I spoke to a doctor yesterday who said the longest she& #39;s seen an infection last is 10 weeks. By my count, the virus has officially been in NY for a little over 11. (but brain fogginess is a symptom, so don& #39;t take my word for it!)
I was lucky enough to get a pulse ox to measure my oxygen levels (at this point, you won& #39;t. I got sick within days of official quarantine and I got the last one on the shelf) so I have not had to go to the ER. I have had 7 dr appointments, only one in person and no lung scan.
