7. I am in those numbers...

Nov 2020

Whole family tested positive including myself after my in-laws visited (weren’t taking the virus seriously due to political reasons). They’ve now tested positive as well.

I got it the worst - violent coughing fits made it hard to breathe at times but I was able to tough it out without taking Up another hospital bed. I had nearly all symptoms - fever, fatigue, sore, stomach issues. It was rough.

We all lost smell and taste.

Nine year old son had no fever or cough but Nearly slept through three days.

This virus is no joke. I am thankful we had the resources to recover fairly quickly, though I’m not 100% yet.

Work two jobs. Fortunately one paid me to stay home and the other let me use PTO. It’s a financial hit but we will recover.
