  The Costs of Covid

  This global pandemic hit my mom and my brother. My mom actually did not know that she had Covid. The only reason that she found out was because she went in to get her blood drawn and had the Covid antibodies. When she found that out she tried to go back and trace when she could've had it. With some deep thinking she pinpointed a certain week, in early August. That week she was having a sore throat and her nose was running. They weren't severe symptoms, so she never went to get a test. She just rested and it passed. My 25 year old brother on the other hand had a lot more symptoms than her. So he went in to get tested and came back with a positive test. He experienced chills, loss of taste and smell, coughing, congestion, and headaches. He recovered from those symptoms with lots of rest and fluids, and now is back to his normal self. I’m very thankful that my loved ones have gotten through Covid, and are now back to full health.
