Curious about that, as well.
Also, what test confirmed it? Several different ways to test, AFAIK.
Glad you’ve recovered.
“..Were you hospitalized? Were you given any meds for it?...”
Nope...not hospitalized, but did go to my doc to be tested as soon as the symptoms appeared. Once the test said “positive”, My wife (who had no symptoms, but tested positive) self-quarantined and rode it out.
I was already on a pretty rigid Vitamin C and D regimen long before contracting it. I used Tylenol for the fever. I added Quercetin and Zinc to my daily vitamin routine. Fortunately, I never got it in my lungs. Just a relentless fever, headache, muscle aches, loss of taste/smell (which I have since fully recovered), diarrhea and nausea. I also used DripDrop hydration powder to replace minerals and electrolyte lost to the fever and diarrhea. Couldn’t find it locally and had to order it off Amazon. It was way better than Gatorade and was a godsend or me. I’m 70-years old with no underlying conditions. I had the symptoms for 12 days. Finally, the fever broke for good on the night of the 12th day and I started feeling better. 3 days later, I was considered contagious. I did lose about 15lbs and it took me another couple of weeks to fully get my strength back.
To me, it was more like a really bad case of the flu, but I can see where if someone had some serious underlying conditions, that it could be very bad...even fatal.
