At the start of this virus, I thought it was mostly respiratory problems. But after my dad tested positive, I knew what the symptoms were. At first, my dad was super fatigued and couldn't move like he used to. After that, he started to get very hot and feel like he had a fever. He didn't have respiratory problems. I think it is because Covid affects people differently. My dad had a slight cough when he had it, but that wasn't bad. But the main symptom that most people get from Covid is the loss of taste and smell. My dad lost both of those and it really annoyed him. I also read a story about an NBA player who lost his taste and smell, and I read about a lot of people who had the same thing. Luckily, my dad fought it off and is doing well. There are many symptoms for covid, but they all can be different for everybody.

The symptoms that I heard about very frequently earlier during this pandemic were coughing, shortness of breath, fever and fatigue. These symptoms are all common symptoms of the virus. Other symptoms are headache, sore throat and chills. A lot of symptoms are symptoms that are seen with other sicknesses like influenza. One of the symptoms that is not associated with influenza is loss of taste or smell. One of my cousins experienced mild symptoms of Covid-19 such as sore throat, fever and fatigue.

The symptoms of Covid are very similar to the symptoms of the flu. You usually get a fever, body aches, it is harder to breath, etc. Unlike the flu however Covid makes you lose your sense of taste. Of all the people that I know, only three people I know have gotten the virus one was my history teacher, another was my friend, and the last was my cousin. My friend remained mostly asymptomatic the whole time he was sick. My cousin got pretty sick and had a high fever and had a lot of trouble breathing. Thankfully he recovered and is okay now.

Some rules are to wear a mask and stay six feet apart. These are smart rules that are definitely helping. Wearing a face mask is irritating and bothersome because I have to wear it all day at school. But staying six feet apart is easy and not as bad as it seems. Obeying these rules are the only way you can leave your house and go places so I will do so without complaining.

I have The VID (coronavirus) It was horrible. I was in my bed for about a week and ate soup alot. I mean I got to play videogames a lot so that was good. Otherwise DO NOT GET THE VID!!!

In February of last year, I am not sure but I think I got Covid. My whole family ended up getting sick for about 3 days. It was really weird becuase we all felt really bad. I had like a fever and just didn't feel like doing anything. Since I happened to get a week off, I ended up going sking a couple days after, and I felt fine. Overall, it wasn't that bad and at the time we didn't even know that Covid was in the US and just thought it was a bad cold or something.

I haven't had Corona yet, or I don't think I have, but i certainly know people who have gotten it. In the beginning around April of 2020, everything had just shut down. My family had some friends who were exposed, and they all tested positive for COVID-19 right after we saw them. My family was in shock and we were scared. They began to quarantine, and then we had to quarantine as well because we were then exposed. They all got very sick and luckily no body in my family tested positive, but it was a very scary experience.

One of my friends tested positive for Covid. One day, I was playing video games with my group of friends. The particular friend who had Covid I had not talked to for a while. I playfully yelled his name and asked where he had been. He merely stated that he was asymptomatic and he got Covid a couple months ago. I was quite shocked. I had not heard a word of this before hand so I was not expecting this. He just blew it off and we started playing games. No more talk of the virus happened and no questions were really asked.

I have not been greatly affected by my friend testing positive for Covid 19. My friend had no symptoms of Covid 19 and said it felt like nothing. Nothing really changed because my parents didn't want me really over at my friends house since some of my family are high risk. He said he couldn't taste anything but said the only problem was he couldn't really see us. I still called him once in a while to see how he's doing but right now he doesn't have Covid.

Corona for me, has not affected my life much at all, but I do have a friend who's dad got corona. It affected me by me not being able to hang out with that friend. They did this just to make sure there was no risk of it spreading. Even though no one was really sick we wanted to make sure we could stay in school. The friend's father was completely fine and the rest of his family tested negative. I also had another friend that tested positive but had no symptoms and never got sick. These two cases are the only ones that have affected my life, but they didn't affect it a lot. I was only not allowed to hang out with them because of their parents, mine were completely fine with it because they know the virus is not going to kill anyone.

It was about a year ago we where in New Orleans and visiting our distant cousins a day after Mardi Gras my was feeling terrible and he slept almost all day and had many of the covid symptoms we thought he just was tired. so the next day came around and he was fine but my brother was sick with it. He had it for about three days. After that we lifted New Orleans and about last summer we found out that they both had it my dad and my brother so that's it.

In my close circle I haven't had anyone that has been tested positive for Covid-19. In the big circle, there have been a few though. All of them were school related. Some student in school were sent home for a week because one of their students got sick, and one of the teachers in my grade also got sick, but since I was indirectly related I didn't get affected. Most of the times where someone remotely close to me got Covid, I wasn't effected in any way.

So far, I have only know two people that have had Covid-19. One of them was my uncle who lives in New Jersey, and the other was a friend of mine who is my age. My family from NJ came to visit us two weeks ago(which included my uncle), and my uncle told us that a few months he had covid-19. He said that he had no symptoms at all, the only way he even knew he had it was because he had to get tested to go back to work. The test came back positive, but he still had not even one symptom. I also have a friend who had covid-19 over winter break. He said that he had no symptoms except for he lost his taste and smell for three days. Those are the only people that I've know who have had covid-19.

Personally I don't know anyone that has gotten Covid 19 and I would prefer not to start now. I have heard however that the symptoms in everyone are different depending on your blood type, if you have asthma, diabetes, or any other immune disorder. The symptoms in a healthy person is just like an extended common cold. There is coughing, fatigue, light headedness, and fever. But, once it hits people who have asthma that could be a problem considering that Covid 19 attacks the lungs. It could damage their lungs even more which could potentially lead to death. Other than that the symptoms are pretty much the same. The thing that makes this particular virus dangerous is that no one shows symptoms for at least 2 weeks. So before you know its there, there is already a couple billion little virus cells in your body making you sick or worse. This disease mainly affects the elderly and is hard to control. it spreads quickly because it is an airborne disease. Some other symptoms are nausea and diarrhea. By now it is very well known about by now mostly because an insane 3.12 million people have died around the world because of it.

My grandma and grandpa had Covid in November, before thanksgiving. My grandma got it from a nurse that had it from her work and then she got it and passed it on to my grandpa. My grandma had it for 3-4 weeks. She had a fever, cough, lost of taste, shortness of breath, body aches. My grandpa had it for about 2 weeks. He had body aches, headaches and a slight cough. My grandma has to go to the Los Robles Hospital because she had shortness of breath. The doctors helped her by giving her some oxygen, some antibiotics, steroids, plasma with with antibodies, Vitamin D and C, and Zinc. My grandpa did not have to go to the hospital. They are all fine now but that was a little scary when my grandma had to go to the hospital.

As you've probably already heard, many people have caught COVID. I don't know anyone in my family that has caught it, but I do have a family friend that caught it. I know that sympotoms and how the virus attacks your immune system can differ, but in this case it wasn't too bad. Some of the symptoms my friend is experiencing are tiredness, fatigue, fever, runny nose, and pain all over the body. Again, I've heard of others going to the hospital because they weren't able to breath. This friend, caught is a few days ago, so he is isolated in his home and sadly the rest of his family has caught it. As of now, they are doing fine and hope to have a swift recovery.

I've heard many different things about Covid-19. I only know one person who got the virus but my family know a few. The person I know said that it wasn't bad. They just had a cough and a fever. I've also heard some other people say that Covid was really bad. As far as I know the main symptoms of Covid are a cough, fever, and runny nose. I haven't met anyone who had Covid and said it was really bad.

A few months back I started having covid symptoms so to be safe my family stayed far away from me and tried to bring me food or anything else I needed so I didn't have to leave my room. My symptoms ranged from the normal common ones all the way to the weird ones like my feet being freezing no matter what I did to heat them. Luckily none of them so bad I had to go to the hospital or anything. Covid soon started to go away and I had eventually tested negative but I wasn't done. For a few weeks, after I had caught another virus and had to deal with this with about the same symptoms besides the fact, my body now ached from being sick for this long without much motion in my day. not sure about date below

In December of 2019, I believe I had COVID-19. For a few weeks I was coughing uncontrollably, like hyperventilating but coughing. It was terrible, once I started coughing it felt like it never stopped. I had to take Sudafed's, cough drops, and NyQuil even just to fall asleep. It was terrible. I got my whole entire family sick, even my mom! Which was odd because she never, I mean never gets sick. My parents decided to take me to urgent care, where they swabbed my throat. Tested the swab and nothing came back positive. So they decided to do a chest x-ray, and I did not have pneumonia. After all of these tests and x-rays, they just said, we have no idea what she has but she has something. It was kind of scary to hear that. After the next week or so I finally recovered. It was a really rough few weeks and probably the worst cold I had ever had. To wrap up, I believe I had COVID-19 in December 2019.

When I heard my friend and her parents tested positive, I was freaking out. I was planning to hang out with her soon and if another friend hadn't told me, that would've been very bad. She was actually going to come to school and I was thinking if she would, I wouldn't be near her. But thankfully, she "changed her mind." I don't want to get exposed to covid even though it doesn't have a big affect on me. I have parents working in the medical field and it would make me feel so guilty. Since June, I've been hanging around with one specific girl and only sometimes we add this other one. I just always have an eerie feeling in public places now. And a guilty one when I think about it too much. I always try and be responsible and take others in account.

I have not been affected by anyone I know testing positive, and i have not been tested positive. My brother has to get tested every month and he has never tested positive. I guess my moms cousin tested positive and was in the hospital, I don’t know if he died or not though my parents just stopped talking about him. I never met him.

I woke up one day got ready for school put my water polo stuff in my bag and I was out the door. I was excited to train so I could get ready for a big tournament coming up. I ask my dad, what time is practice. HE said people in the high school got Covid so practice is canceled for a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks I said. Then I won't be able to train for the tournament. He said yeah I know we are just going to have to figure out another way. So I had to find out a way to practice without a pool.

Me personally has not been affected to much by covid. No one in my family or friends has even tested positive. The hard part for me is that i am not allowed to see my grandparents without wearing a mask and social distancing. My nana is ok we go to lunch and hang out sometimes but my grandparents are paranoid. Luckily my grandparents got the vaccine early with no side affects and now once we get it we will be able to see each other.

Our family friend Joe Diffie had and died of Covid in March of 2020

Throughout 2020 there has been many different symptoms of Coronavirus. The main ones are fever, sore throat, coughing. I had a personal experience with one of my family members getting the virus. It was my great grandma. My great grandma was my biggest hero. She went through many obstacles in her life including; World War 2, she was a model for Norway, and she even beat a pandemic. On November 4 2020 my family and i found out my great grandma was diagnosed with Coronavirus. Now she had many health issues and we all knew the virus would not help that. On November 8th she tested negative. We were all very happy she made it through. The next day she was not doing well and she passed away. She was surrounded by family on zoom to talk to her and I will never forget how amazing she was.

One day I was out for a walk with my dad and when we came home my mom told us that our neighbors, who we had hung out with the week before, tested positive for COVID! This was a bit of a surprise for our family because we had been really careful so that we didn't get our grandparents sick. Our neighbors ended up being perfectly fine, and so did we. We never ended up getting COVID. the week before they had gotten it we had played football with them at the park near our house.

This is probably the aspect of COVID that has impacted me the most. No one in my family got COVID, and everyone I know that got it recovered very quickly. The first rule that impacted me was the shutting down of schools. I started online school, and it was a blessing and a curse. I loved some aspects of online school, but I still kind of missed in-person school. The second rule that impacted me was the social distancing. Every time I did have social interaction, I needed to stay 6 feet apart from everyone. I would also need to wear a mask every time I was around people. This made going to stores like Vons and Gelsons much more inconvienient. My least favorite rule was the mandatory lock-down. All of my favorite stores and restaurants closed. I wouldn't be able to go anywhere expect for a few places (grocery stores like Vons and Gelsons). Throughout the last year, the new rules and procedures of COVID have impacted me far greater than the virus itself, and hopefully it will stay that way.

I barely known people that had gotten Covid. I think it’s because my surroundings are pretty safe. I haven’t experience seeing anyone with Covid-19.

During Christmas we had a lot of family go to my one of my Grandmas house and we had Christmas Day there. A couple weeks later we found out that my Aunts brother was exposed to Covid. My parents got tested and they were negative, and so was my Aunt. The not so good thing is now, my other Aunt has been staying with my Grandma since then and makes us wear a mask when we visit our Grandma. That was my story.

Several months into Covid and the virus was still really a mystery to me. I had heard stories and new the facts about Covid, but I hadn't experienced it or knew anyone who had. However, that changed when someone I knew had tested positive for covid. During a school activity, I had been right next to them, I could have got Covid as well! However, I didn't show any symptoms and was fine even after a few weeks. Even though I had to quartine for a while I was fine. However, it showed me that Covid was no joke and I became more aware of the virus and really how quickly it can spread.

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, I had both sides of my family get it. My dads parents and my cousins, and my cousins on my moms side. This was really hard because I usually visit them every holiday or try to at least. Since they had COVID I wasn't aloud to see them or visit them. This was really hard because since wasn't aloud to see them I didn't know if it would be there last day, my grandparents are all 80+. This was a personal story of how I have been affected by someone in my life getting COVID-19.

My sister tested positive for COVID and everything in our house went down on lockdown. She was only sick for a day and no one else got sick. This is this scary virus that is killing people by the thousands. If your young its no problem but I will say be weary if your older.

I have been lucky enough to not have many people close to me get infected with covid. However there are a couple people I know that did get it. One case that affected me was my orthodontist. He got diagnosed a few days after I had an appointment with him. So obviously I had to quarantine. I got tested and tested negative. But I still took the necessary precautions. That whole week I could not leave my house. I missed soccer practice. I couldn't hang out with my friends. It was lonely and boring. Luckily no symptoms ever appeared and all was well.

When I first learned about the symptoms of COVID, I didn't really understand what the concern was about. People with COVID would experience fever, aches, chills, loss of taste, soar throat, and sometimes nausea. I just sounded like a flu to me. We don't wear lock everything down for the flu every year, so why should we do all this for COVID? Some time later, I learned that COVID has additional effects on the elderly and people with underlying health conditions. People in those categories would often develop a respiratory tract infection, which can be deadly. On the opposite side of things, most young and healthy people experience little to no symptoms at all. We've been living with COVID for almost a year now, and I've only known a few people who have gotten it. I can't be sure that I've gotten it, but what I do know is that the changes that came with COVID have impacted my life greatly. Hopefully it will all be over soon.

Personally, I do not know anybody who has gotten COVID-19 super well. The closest person who was in my life the most before he got diagnosed is my amazing history teacher, Mr. Newman. Thankfully, the risk is very low that we got the virus from him. We sit behind plexi-glass, sanitize our hands, clean our desks, and stay six feet away. Mr. Newman and his family are hanging in there. He is currently teaching from zoom and we have a super cool camera that goes 360 degrees around the classroom. It is called an owl camera. It zooms in on whoever is talking and makes virtual learners and teachers feel like they are actually in the classroom. Mr. Newman is well enough to be on zoom, however I can imagine that he probably does not feel great. I've seen some posts on a huge social media app called TikTok about symptoms of COVID-19. People of all ages, mostly teenagers, post comedy, dancing, informative, and pointless videos for everyone to see. People have talked about loosing taste and smell, coughing, and even more severe symptoms. Many who have permanent taste-loss from COVID-19 have tried a Jamaican remedy that helps people regain taste. You burn an orange until it is charred on a gas-lit fire stove. Then you peel it and eat the insides. If I get COVID-19 in the future and loose taste, I defiantly want to try making it. My great aunt passed away from COVID-19. She was not really a part of my life. I don't remember her at all. Her husband also tested positive and was hospitalized, however he recovered with some lung damage. My immediate family and I have been very careful which I believe is the reason why we have gotten minimal COVID-19 exposure and no familial positive tests. I am very thankful that we are all healthy.

The symptoms of Covid are very similar to the flu. For example for Covid and the flu, you might have a high temperature. Covid might also cause the victim to lose taste or smell. Headache is also another common symptom of Covid can also cause coughing. I don't know of anyone that got Covid. These are the symptoms of coronavirus

I was driving back from Mammoth when my mom got the email that someone in my church that we see every week got covid. I immediately got worried because I was spending time with them at church. After we got that email, we realized that we had to be more aware of how close the virus was to home. We all got tests the next day and panicked until we got the results that we were all negative. This experience was very stressful and I do not think I want to relive that feeling.

Some symptoms of Covid-19 that I know of are a fever, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, fatigue, vomiting, etc. I know multiple people that has contracted Covid-19 in my life such as my uncle, my aunt, and my cousins. I was shocked that they actually got Covid-19, and even now they are still recovering. Also, my history teacher tested positive for Covid-19 a couple days ago. He said that he and his family are feeling better. I am very glad that most people who get Covid-19 recover fully. Overall, I am really afraid for my parents, my grandparents, and my family. Covid-19 is spreading quickly, but I am very thankful that the people in my family who tested positive, are now feeling better. I hope more people will recover from this virus and be stronger from it too!

My best friend's family got covid and they told me that it was extremely exaggerated. The mother of the family had it the worst. She said she had to stay in bed for 3 days because of the body aches she had. My friend did not have any symptoms and thank goodness for that. Her little sister had a stomach ake and her head hurt for 2 days. The father had a headache for a few weeks, but he said that it is was bearable.

During this year it has been rough, my grandpa got covid, my friends dad got covid. Most of the things I noticed though was that my grandpa got a fever and wasn't feeling well and then he was better the next day. My friends dad actually had to go to the hospital, he is all good now but still me and my family got really worried. The most of the common symptom of covid though is a fever, I know a few other people who got it and they weren't feeling great (just a little sluggish) and that they had a fever. Everyone who I know got who had symptoms had a fever. It is very weird.

my brother in law had COVID for a week and the symptoms he had was that he couldn't taste anything or smell. At some points it was hard for him to breathe. My friend also had COVID, but his symptoms were different he still was able to taste things but he couldn't smell anything and he said he didn't have a hard time breathing.

My neighbor got Covid last month and he was tired and in bed for a couple of days. Also, he did not feel 100%. When he was not sick anymore he looked great and you could not tell he had Covid. I felt sad when my neighbor got Covid but I was sure he would recover fine. it taught me to be more cautious to not get the virus too.

I have a fairly large friend group and around halloween a couple of my friends got corona. So on Halloween there were 3 different parties to split up the friend group, so that it would be safer for corona. At one of the parties there was this girl there and her brother had corona (but she didn't know it at the time). So everyone she was with got it, including her. Then they had to quarantine and stay away from everyone for 3 weeks. I felt really bad for them because it seemed really lonely. I have also gotten tested multiple times and it felt really weird and my nose started running. I am glad that I have these experiences to learn and grow from.

Corona started around 8 months ago and it has taken a toll on everyone's social life and jobs. For a while, I never thought corona would affect anyone close to me and I was never too worried about catching the virus. Until one of my close friends left my house to go see her stepmom for her birthday and she caught corona from her. It lasted around 2 weeks and she lost her taste but it didn't affect her that hard she tested again after 2 weeks and she didn't have covid. After this situation it made me realize that corona isn't just something you hear about on the news, it's all around you.

Neither me or my family has gotten COVID but two of my closest friends got it along with their family. One of the families didn't feel any symptoms but had to get tested for sports. When it came back positive they quarantined but only two of them felt sick. They described it as what a cold feels like, "just a little out of it". The other family I know actually felt very sick. When the parents felt sick they got tested and where posited but only 1/4 kids were positive too. Their symptoms were head aches, fever, and stomach aches. Loosing smell and taste is very common but I don't know any one who dealt with that. I know a few people who thought they had it, tested and came back negative. After going to the doctors it turned out to be the flu. I got tested for sports over the summer despite feeling normal (everyone who trained had to do it) and it came back negative it was rather uncomfortable but not painful. I wasn't very nervous I was positive but I was nervous the test would hurt. I know a few people who said they wouldn't be surprised if they had it and probably did at one point but never tested to confirm or deny their theory. Even though its very well possible.

About a couple months ago, my friend who I had known for about 6 years tested positive for Covid-19. There was an outbreak in his school, and he got the virus from someone there. I'm pretty sure most of his family got tested, but only he had it. I wasn't seeing him anyway because of the lockdown, but I felt pretty scared for him. He had a heart condition and so did his dad, so he was more vulnerable than most. Luckily, he was asymptomatic and he wasn't suffering. His dad got pretty sick, but it wasn't COVID-19, he is ok now but he wasn't doing very well when he had it. Luckily, my friend was ok and did not have to go to the hospital.

My great aunt had covid. Her first symptom was the loss of taste and smell. She had the virus very bad and had almost all of the symptoms by the time the virus went away which included Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose, vomiting, and trouble breathing. She was hospitalized for about 3 weeks.

This year has been a crazy roller coaster. After a school activity at school, I learned that I was present with a person who was notified that they got Covid. I learned the information from a friend of mine who had to be quarantined at home. Since that was the first time I heard a peer getting Covid, I was shocked. A while later, I heard a few more students or teachers getting Covid. This news did not shock me or affect me in any way. I knew that even though there are new procedures, people being in-person will still have consequences. I knew that people getting Covid-19 is inevitable. Once people take the vaccine, I believe the probability of getting Covid-18 will go down.

At the start of the Coronavirus outbreak, my family and I got a message from our neighbors telling us that they had COVID 19. It was a severe case and all of the adults had it. Eventually, their grandfather passed so we sent them flowers and brought them dinner every week. Later we received a note saying how much they enjoyed the flowers and they sent us their dinner request. It was a tragic turn of events but the light was we got to know our incredible, resilient neighbors better.

Back in the summer of 2020, my great uncle got COVID-19 and he had to quarantine himself from the outside world for 2 whole weeks. The reason I heard about this was because my mom had told me and it made me feel kind of scared because I was afraid he was going to die. After 2 weeks, he got better and he no longer had COVID-19 which made me feel less nervous. He is my only relative that has had COVID-19 before.
