Sensitive topic... Does anyone think they've had COVID-19 and it resolved?

14. Maybe. I had a sore throat, cough, fatigue, unrelenting tightness in chest, got winded easily.

Felt dopey and slightly feverish for a few days. Ordered a thermometer. Before it arrived, I bought a forehead-scanning type that showed a low fever, just shy of 100, or 100.5 if I tested behind my ear. Felt somewhat better by the time my oral thermometer arrived. That showed low 99 for a day or two, then dropped to around 98 and stayed there. Lasted at least two weeks. Fortunately I was able to work from home. Couldn't manage full days but was able to work about four hours a day.

I'll never know. But I had never experienced that sensation of tightness in the chest before--not pain exactly but weight or discomfort. Couldn't take a deep breath. I would be winded for a half hour if I took a brief, solitary walk around the block. It was weird because usually if I get a cold I have a lot of nasal congestion, but I barely had a sniffle.

If I had it, I was lucky because it wasn't awful. But I'm pushing sixty and I suspect it was something else. I think I would get it more severely at my age.
