One of our close family friends has gotten Covid-19. We thought that the people that are close to us were never going to get the virus, but I guess we spoke too soon. We saw them three or four days at our house before they got the test rest coming back saying positive. We were terrified, so we stayed at home for 14 days. We were all right, but our family friend, not so much. He had a fever for two or three days, and finally, after the temperature went down, it came straight back up again the next day. He was really tired and had no energy to walk around his house. His body was aching and he had a lot of pain. Luckily, after a week of getting rest, he recovered from the virus.
