Temperature normal, taste/smell fine and little to no coughing. What I am noticing though is how out of breath I'm getting doing anything around the house, no matter how little the job is. Feels like a weight pushing on my chest. Returns to normal upon resting but a little concerned so keeping my eye on it.
Thanks for the update BT, take it easy, don't overdo it just yet, let your body mend itself.

Glad to hear that you are overall OK. Fingers crossed that you only get better from here.

Tiredness and tightness of the chest has improved today, all looking good. Late symptom though, taste has completely gone, made my famous cheese, hot sauce, coriander pasta earlier for breakfast/dinner (refuse to use that word) and my palate was as confused as a goat on AstroTurf.

Glad I'm feeling better, though this symptom has annoyed me, love my food.

Had no taste anyway I suppose. :rolleyes:

Hello,

It took my son a bit to get his sense of taste back. Be patient - we'll all hope for the best.

How was your son throughout and how long was his recovery mate?

Hello,

My son was lucky - plus he's young and fit. He referees so in Summer '20 he had to work in a warehouse. Returning from lunch, he walked by some people smoking outside the warehouse. He couldn't smell the smoke, so he turned around and called in to let people know. He tested positive. About a week later, he tested negative. While he was infected, he was running 120's (120 yard sprints) for 90 minutes or so every morning to get his referee-ing legs back. He was fortunate.

His sense of taste took a bit longer to return - probably 10 days or so.
