Did she have Lab tests?
I just heard from my neighbor who is in her early forties, eight months post diagnosis from a case that gave her flu like symptoms for 5 days and no shortness of breath. But lately she's been having shortness of breath and brain fog. She had a CT lung scan done and has the ground glass lesions. The dogs think it's damage from Covid but are hoping it will eventually resolve.
Im sorry you are struggling with this so much. I hope you can get past it at some point
Today is day 10 of my covid quarantine, which means I’m free tomorrow. Felt good the past few days with no observed symptoms. Today I went to the garage gym and did some moderate squats. O2 stayed at 97, heart rate only got as high as about 120, and I didn’t feel like garbage. I’d say I’m about 85%, so I feel extremely lucky. There were a few rough days this past week, so I’ll say without hesitation this virus is nothing to scoff at as “the flu.” For reference, I’m mid-30s, work out 4-5 days a week, eat like crap and probably should lose about 40lbs. This has been a wake up call to get it together. No more fast food, no more energy drinks, cut back the salt/grease, take some vitamins, etc.
Glad you're feeling better. I'm 100% convinced that this virus affects people based on genetics. With the flu, if you're generally healthy, you'll be fine. But this virus is weird. I've seen overweight 60 year olds come through it fine, while seemingly healthy and active 30 year olds get knocked on their butts. Of course there are also 30 year olds who have nothing more than the sniffles, and 60 year olds who are hospitalized. Doesn't seem like there is any rhyme or reason.
My brother in law who had it (mid 30's) only had about 3 days of slight fever, lost his taste and smell, but then symptom free. It was pretty easy for him. Now my sister has tested positive. All she has is a little brain fog, and said it feels like her allergies are acting up.
OK, my wife decided to get tested on Wednesday. No really solid reason to do so. A very slim chance that she had been exposed ~ 2 weeks before that. Maybe. But absolutely no symptoms in either of us. Well she got her test results yesterday ~4pm. Positive.
And we had one of our daughters visiting for the weekend and one of our son's nd his GF there too. We were all a little flat footed by the revelation. I knew she had tested but with no real significant reason to and no symptoms I guess I had put it out of my mind. She had not warned any of the guests.
Her self-isolation period is 12/7 to 12/19.
Now she did the contact tracing call today. I got a text from IDOH and did an on-line and did their little quiz. My quarantine period ends 1/2/2021. and they recommend I test. Which I will do tomorrow.
We know another couple who got tested the same place ~ a week ago. They had a positive result, followed by a call a couple of days later saying "nevermind" - false positive.
Why would you have to quarantine for almost 3 weeks? Thought CDC had now dropped it down to 10 days
With no symptoms they are saying the quarantine is 14 days from my last exposure. The last exposure date is projected as my wife's last day which is the 19th, or 10 days from the date of the positive test. If I test positive tomorrow, I guess it would be 10 days from tomorrow then or 12/23 instead of 1/2? I dunno, its all kind of crazy.

So we should be rooting for you to test positive (shorter quarantine)?
you can do 7 days after exposure if you have a negative test i believe
I did the Kroger antibodies test. It showed strong antibodies present. Never ill and never exposed as far as i now.
Blood type O positive
The CDC made an alternative quarantine recommendation because they thought it more likely people would follow, and they think it will be 97% effective.you can do 7 days after exposure if you have a negative test i believe
