That's terrible news and will be more and more common in the coming months. Prayers to their family.

It affects everyone a bit differently. For me I found going on walks and moving really helped even though I felt bad. Good Luck

My pastor is extremely ultra careful. Fully vaxed, always wears a mask near people (even one on one) got it last weekend on a visit to family. As someone said a while ago "Eventually everyone will get Covid but the key is there is better information and early treatments now." Still "knock on wood" I and my wife have not caught it yet.

It definitely does hit people differently. My wife could barely get out of bed. I felt no difference; I just wasn't hungry. I lost some weight during that week because I kept forgetting to eat. I also installed a dishwasher because I felt just fine.

My wife has had it three times, with varying degrees of severity. I've been directly exposed each time and haven't gotten it yet. I've had a family member in their 40s end up on permanent disability from it, while their 80 year old parent barely had a cold. It's a bizarre sickness. Hope you feel better soon, Flip.

Had it once 3 years ago...very sore throat and bad headaches for a few days. Golden since then...zinc every day with exercise, water, sleep and a good diet is the key for me.
