When I got hit with COVID, the initial symptoms came on strong: fever (and chills), sore throat, wet cough, stuffy/runny nose, aches, and lethargy. Most of those symptoms persisted through yesterday morning, except for the fever, which ended maybe a day or two after I first began to feel blah. As of right now, the sore throat seems to be going away as well, and I'm feeling more energetic today. All in all, I think I turned a corner sometime over the past 24 hours, so I guess the rest of my self-isolation is going to involve a lot of thumb-twiddling.
I used Coupang to order myself some supplies, just to make sure I don't starve (although, frankly, I could probably go a week without eating and not have to worry). Still can't taste or smell anything, so I concentrate on savoring textures and temperatures.
