Have you tested positive for COVID-19?
Two weeks ago, I tested positive for COVID-19 and it was four days of hell. As many of you know by now, I take great pride in my physical health. I exercise, drink a ton of water, sleep well, eat well, double-vaccinated, and despite all this… I was laid up in my bed for the better part of a week. COVID-19 is no joke. In the #CJJblog this week, I am not getting political or giving you opinions on anything. I wanted to simply give you my experience with this virus, as I previously underestimated its severity and what it can do to you. Enjoy.
- Questions. Is COVID really that bad? Even if I get it, my symptoms won’t be worse than a minor cold, right? I’m fully vaccinated, so I must be immune to contracting it. These were all thoughts going through my head, prior to my recent experience with COVID-19.
- Masking. I have been very consistent wearing a mask in public and anytime I was around others. Be aware of your surroundings and always wear masks where required.
- Take it serious. Before testing positive and experiencing it firsthand, I must admit I was a bit skeptical. Given that I am in good physical condition and take care of myself, I felt I had somewhat of an immunity to the symptoms. False. The symptoms started out as a normal cold, then as my fever worsened, exhaustion set in, and I was down for the count.
- My experience. This is just my experience and I wish you nothing but good health. The virus is very real and I hope you don’t take it lightly. Be safe out there and around others!
