Vin Prest on “Life is a Rusty Rollercoaster” wrote this vivid account of his battle with Covid. Since his is the only detailed report I’ve read that was told by someone who actually experienced the disease, I’m reblogging it here. I think, given the underrating of the experience by our President, that it is important that people hear about the first-hand experience of someone else:

Good. It needs to get out there. It’s true Vin had a bad heart, but the description of what others were going through as well is so horrendous. I think we’ve all had it in our minds that maybe it isn’t that bad–even though we know it is–because of Trump’s insidious statements. People need to hear the full story. Yes, in some the symptoms are mild, but millions have died as well.

I’ve heard rumors of the aftermath, but this is the first real commentary on what the covid sufferers are to expect. Thank you for sharing it!

I know. Why haven’t there been more reports by those who have caught it?

I rather expect that he’s one of the first few who have endured the long-term response to the disease who have also recovered to a point of writing about it. For maybe the last three months or so, I’ve heard that there might be long-term effects, but not much more than that — we’re now still only 9 or 10 months into it, and the bulk of the cases only86 months or less ago! This may be just the first of many ~ ~ ~ It’s also an example of why I am particularly concerned about the damage the virus does to the young — it’s not just once-and-done, probably for anybody who catches it!

I gather this virus has given a very wide range of reactions, anywhere from a fever or sniffle to near death.

(Whoops! should correct that. To dying of it.) This blogger has a bad heart — a higher risk in no matter what affliction.

Why have we not seen more first-hand reports? Seems strange. This description is horrific. Poor guy.

Agreed. I shared with my fam, three are nurses and one a doc. The rest of us are homeschooling and working from home.
