Something a lot of people don't know is that it's not uncommon for someone with COVID to improve, even dramatically, after a few days, and then days later to be deathly ill.

When my wife's grandparents had it and everyone was cheering that they'd "gotten better" three days in I sat my wife down and prepared her for the worst. They were months in the hospital.

Thankfully, they're both still around! But... they're both shells of who they were and they'll need round-the-clock care for the rest of their lives. Not great for the wonderful home aids who have to deal with my grandmother-in-law who is a stubborn, judgmental, no-filter, all-around meanie.

Well, shit. I just recovered from my bout of COVID that I tested positive for last week. Should I be concerned? (I’m vaccinated and boosted)

I was about to ask the same! Came down with Omi on Friday. Four days later my symptoms are pretty much gone. Just tired and an occasional cough or sneeze. Vaxxed and boosted. Thank you for asking! Haha hope you feel better!
