I really haven't experienced that much of covid within the family except me getting into close contact and receiving symptoms after. My family has been lucky and no one serious in my family has received covid but, I know many people who have covid and sadly, I know someone who passed away too from it. Even though my family hasn't gotten anything serious yet, we are still very alert and strict on what we can and not do.

I personally haven't really been affected by Covid, but I have had a few friends who tested positive. It was kind of funny because the two friends that I would talk with every day and hang out with were the two to get it. One of my friends tested positive on Christmas Eve and the other tested positive a few days before Christmas. I didn't know for a while because of Christmas plans and holiday festivities, so it wasn't a huge deal, but we couldn't get together for new years' which was kind of sad.

When Covid started I didn't know much about it. All I knew was it was like another flu and it was another virus. After a few months of Covid, I started to have friends and family who got it. Some of the symptoms my aunt and her sister had was a loss of smell and taste and they had fevers and were kind of fatigued. My old basketball coach got it and he had the same symptoms.
Many many people have got it all over the world and I'm glad that I only know a few people who have it, and are fortunate that most of my friends and family are healthy.

My grandparents tested positive right after Thanksgiving, but we didn't go up there since they were not feeling well. Other than that, my orthodontist and his wife tested positive, but I haven't had/needed an appointment in quite a while. That is just about it.

It was a couple weeks after the New Year. My coach had a fever and felt achey. He said maybe it was the flu, but he got tested for COVID. He realized that he tested positive. He had a mild cough, but couldn't sleep at night. Also, he had to quarantine for 2 weeks so I couldn't train or play basketball with him. My uncle also got COVID but his case was worse. He couldn't breathe at all and had to go to the hospital. He was there for around 5 days, and actually caught pneumonia from it. Eventually he recovered, but it was a crazy week. All in all, these are some of the symptoms that I have noticed in people.

One day I was just hanging out with my friend having fun. Then 2 days later he tested positive for Covid. I wasn't really that worried but if I did actually have it then it would be bad, also I was going on a trip with other friends in a week. So I went and got tested and luckily I was negative.

Many people who have had COVID have suffered from terrible symptoms ranging from fevers to dry coughs to headaches. When I had COVID, I had very mild symptoms, and I feel very lucky for that. The most I suffered from was a light headache and minor loss of smell, and that lasted only a few days in itself. My aunt on the other hand suffered from horrible symptoms. She had a fever 24 hours a day and couldn't even get out of bed; that's how sick she was. She got the worst end of the bargain. My dad, like me, had mild symptoms. Like me, his sense of smell was gone for only a little bit, but he had a horrible dry cough and a scratchy throat. Now, this may be because they are way older than me, but I still feel extremely lucky that my health didn't diminish. A lot of people have had horrible experiences with COVID, resulting in awful, long sickness, or even death, and I think that my experience with COVID was so much better. My heart goes out to those who are still suffering from this plague, and I recognize how fortunate I was to have had such little symptoms.

I do not know anyone that has COVID or that has gotten COVID. I know some symptoms of COVID which are chills, cough, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, and sore throat. There are many more symptoms but these were the mains ones that I know of. If I were to know someone that would have COVID, then I know that I would have to social distance from them for 2-14 days. I would have to talk with them through online devices which would not be as much fun than to socialize with them in life.

Some covid symptoms that i can think off are headaches and a fever. I also heard you get congested. I personally haven’t had covid but some of my friends and sister did. There symptoms and experience wasn’t too bad according to them but i know for elders and babies it can be fatal and very dangerous. That’s why it’s always important to make sure we stay safe about this virus and make sure to follow the right precautions just to make sure we are all safe.

On January 6th, I was planned to go back to school for the first time in forever. I was really excited because I haven't actually been in school since March. However, this was delayed, because both of my parents tested positive for COVID-19. Even though it wasn't dangerous to them, my parents experienced a lot of side effects. My dad was always coughing, sneezing, and had trouble sleeping, and was very fatigued. My mom had the same thing, but worst of all, she lost all of her smell and taste. Even though she doesn't have it anymore, she still cannot taste or smell, and she learned it can last up to three months after you have it! Luckily, not me nor my brother ever got it, but we are still being careful.

We think that my brother caught COVID. It was back in January or February of 2020. He was at USC which has a lot of students from around the world who went travelling for Christmas and returned to school afterwards. Because my brother was in dorms and was so close to other people, his exposure was high and he had really bad symptoms. We first thought it was just the flu, but it lasted for a month. He was nauseous and his appetite was ruined for a while after. The campus doctors at USC diagnosed it as 'an upper respiratory disease' which is exactly what COVID is.

Some Covid procedures are wearing a mask at almost all times outside. It makes sense and is helpful but I don't like wearing it. Wearing it for 7 hours at school hurts my ears, and exercising in one makes it hard to breathe. It is for our safety and our protection but it gets a little tedious. Social distancing is not very bad. Basically, as long as you are not giving high-fives and fist bumping, your fine. Some people take procedures more seriously than others, so it depends on who your with. Covid procedures make sense but can be a little annoying.

During the COVID-19 pandemic I have had to surmount multiple extremely challenging situations that were only made even more difficult by the pandemic, including the death of my last grandparent. As someone with pre-existing conditions, I usually have to be very careful about not just protecting myself when I leave my house in Chandler, Arizona, but making sure I don't spread any disease to my family. When I got the news that my Grandmother probably didn't have much time left due to her cancer, it was extremely distressing for several reasons. The main reason was the fact that I was losing my grandmother, but one factor that was just as, if not more distressing, was the question of how to be able to best safely spend time with her. After a long discussion with my family, I made it clear that just being on video chat or on the phone with my grandmother was not enough; I wanted to find a way to travel to her house in Kansas, and physically be there for her. It was not an easy decision to make, especially when one takes into account that my method of transportation was to fly, which made me very nervous as someone with pre-existing conditions. Fortunately, I was able to take a safe flight to Kansas, but I was shocked to find family visiting my grandmother from out of state that not only refused to wear masks around her, even though she had virtually no immune system left. Despite such stressful conditions, I was able to spend a week with my grandmother just before she passed away, even though COVID-19 made it very hard. The fact that I was able to do such a thing is striking to me, especially when compared to the vast amount of people around the world who aren't able to spend time with loved ones infected with COVID-19 before they pass away. Looking back, I am very lucky I did not get sick, and I was even more lucky that flights were beginning to become regularly available again after they had been shut down earlier in the year. Most of all, I feel very grateful that I was able to spend time with my grandmother, especially when so many people are dying alone all over the world, leaving families distraught, and without closure.

I had nobody in my family who got Covid-19 but my teacher got it and his symptoms were a Fever and a headache. My experiences are that my teacher has to zoom from home and he can't come back to school for a week to make sure he's safe and healthy we got to stay at school.

I kept in contact with my old school friends, and we always play video games and draw comics together. On January 5th, they asked, like usual, whether we have time to go to the park together. A girl name Siren said she couldn’t come because she got COVID. She took one week to recover; she told us that she was constantly coughing and uncomfortable to breathe. We just face-timed Siren on Tuesday and glad saw that she’s a lot better.

I didn't know of many Symptoms of Covid in the beginning. Of Course, no one did! But, my dad and I both came down sick badly after coming back from Mammoth. I had a horrible headache, Fever, Stomachache, and trouble breathing. I think I had Covid 19, but I didn't infect anyone because of the government's rules to stay home! I then further learned that Covid symptoms are Loss of taste, smell, runny nose, fever, cough, headache, stomachache, and trouble breathing.

One of my friends I know got covid. He lives and London and got it from his brother. His brother was coming home from university and got it for the 2nd time and brought it home. His brother spread it to his dad and him, but not his mom or older brother. He wasn't sick and was A-Symptomatic. He recovered quickly and still has the antibodies. Another friend of mine got covid, Anna. She was very sick and had a fever, loss of smell and taste, and shortness of breath. She got better after 2-3 weeks, but she still can't smell or taste anything after 6 months.

One of my friends mom got Covid and she got very bad headaches and she couldn't taste anything. She also had to quarantine away from her family. Since she could taste anything would give her foods and spices that are very gross such as ginger with mayo and a blended up pizza and they had her eat it. That was one thing that happen to her but other than that she only got very bad headaches.

[REDACTED] Covid-19 has been a thing for quite a while now, and the vaccines for he virus had come out. On Thursday, when my _________ teacher, ______________, did his daily COVID-19 test, he came up negative for COVID-19, but on Friday, he came up positive, making anyone who was in his class on Friday need to stay at their homes for a week and a half. On the Zoom Room that he used to come into the class without actually being there, he discussed he had a light fever, and he coughed excessively. It was nothing bad in his case, and he will be able to survive it just fine, despite his age.

If you happen to get covid, there are a couple of symptoms that you get. One of them is lost of taste. Also you get a fever. Luckily I don’t know anyone that got covid, but my history teacher, Mr. Newman got it. Some people that have him as a teacher, had to stay home for 2 weeks.

When you are given COVID-19, there are many symptoms you can have. Such of these are fevers, coughing, difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell, etc. They are very horrible symptoms. My cousin and my teacher have both gotten COVID-19 and shown these symptoms. They are recovering and are good right now. However, we don't know the long term effects, and I hope they stay well for a long time.

One of my best friends got COVID-19, and he told me he coughed a lot and actually got bloody noses a lot as well, which was rare. He had to be quarantined for 14 days after he recovered. Thankfully, he didn't die and I am really happy. Additionally, he told me that he got it from family members, so that made me think that I should also social distance myself from my own relatives. Because of my friend, I learned a lot about COVID.

Although my friends and I were relatively sad that we couldn't hang out with each other due to going in lockdown, it gave us the best excuse to start a world on Minecraft, and of course, build a McDonald's. There was a lot anxious thoughts, fears, and overall clinical depression. However, through it all, we fought together in unity to overcome not only the external struggles due to quarantine, but also our own internal struggles (that was very much poetic). This screenshot holds a lot of meaning to me because it truly shows how we all truly went through a lot this past year, and how we've been able to adapt to this new lifestyle. Nevertheless, this new way of life really hasn't been that horrendous, and in fact, I'm starting to prefer this type of schedule. At the same time though, I really wish that things could go back to normal, so that way, my friends and I's addiction to Minecraft could cease.

This is a pdf of my award from the annual piano competition. Usually, I would perform in a concert hall with 3 judges and the other contestants. This year, I had to submit my recordings and compete with over 30 entrees. To me, my piano was not the big grand pianos and my setup was not professional as others. After changing songs a month before the due date, I practiced for hours. You think learning an 8-page song in a month is hard, but actually, it was fun with the pressure on. 3 months after submitting, I finally got the news that I won 3rd place. Despite learning a song in a month, I was able to win and place. From this, I learned that hard work never stops and nothing should discourage you. If I gave up when I found out the category I originally applied for was canceled, I wouldn't have won. This was an important event for me because I didn't think I would get close since I was close on time. If I turned back time, I would have initially picked this set of songs and perfected it, even before the quarantine.

Fortunately, not very many people I know have gotten COVID-19. Maybe two or three people I know, at most, have tested positive since quarantine started. For my mom's birthday in the beginning of January, my parents decided to do a wine tasting event at our house. There was a moderate amount of people there, about twenty I'd say. My friend's parents were there and had just gotten back from visiting family in Ohio. My parents were sure to warn everyone invited that they may have been in contact with the virus during their traveling, but had not tested positive, yet. Unfortunately, a couple days after the party, almost their whole family had tested positive for COVID-19. Everyone that attended the party was on the lookout for potential symptoms afterward, as they have been in contact with the couple who tested positive. This couple had very minor symptoms and never felt severely unwell during the infection. Most people my family, friends, or family friends know that have gotten COVID have never experienced severe symptoms, but it's possible for them to become severe. Symptoms can consist of a fever or chills, coughing, shortness of breath/trouble breathing, fatigue, body aches, loss of taste/smell, sore throat, sinus congestion, nausea or vomiting, and/or diarrhea. I am thankful that my family and I have never gotten COVID and few people we know have.

Covid-19 has many parts to it but huge way we have been able to find out quickly if people have covid so we can quarantine them quickly is through the symptoms. Some major symptoms people might get after being exposed are Fever or chills cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, Sore throat and Congestion or runny nose. The symptoms are also helpful because they are different from symptoms from other viruses like the flue for example. Overall without the Symptoms we would have had much more trouble with Covid-19.

There are many symptoms to COVID-19. Some are worse than others and can also last longer or be more life threatening depending on the person and if they have any underlying conditions. Some of the symptoms can be loss of taste and loss of smell, a fever, headache. Covid 19 mostly affects your lungs, so if you have a hard time breathing that can be another symptom as well. I have had an experience with one of my close family members contracting covid. Covid in a way saved their life but at the same time almost ended it. Let me share my story. So my [FAMILY MEMBER] was happy and wasn’t aware of having any underlying conditions. He felt perfectly fine, he was in his 30’s i think and he said that but would felt tired and not motivated but he took that as a stage of getting older. When he got Covid he had a panic attack, he couldn't breathe and had to go to the hospital immediately. He was rushed to the ER and was put on a ventilator and other things as well. When doctors ran tests on him they found out he had covid, but the reason he had a hard time breathing was because supposedly his heart was only pumping with 10% of energy, somehow his heart wasn’t pumping fast enough so that is the reason he was feeling more tired and not motivated. The doctor told him that if he hadn’t got covid, because of his heart he could’ve died any second. That is why in a way Covid saved his life. But now he is happy and healthy and his heart is now working. That is how Covid has affected my family.

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.

The symptoms of COVID ranged from nonexistent to deadly. Most people who contracted it got flu - like symptoms which were fairly easy to deal with. Another large percentage of those who were infected didn't have symptoms at all. Those that remained were hospitalized and put on ventilators. Quite a number of these people died. 400,000 in America alone. I got COVID over Christmas break in 2020. The worst part of it, was being stuck at home the entire time. I was one of the lucky asymptomatic people along with my two younger brothers. My mom and dad got fatigue and my mom was pretty crabby on Christmas day. I was also lucky enough to get out of my period of isolation just in time for my return to in-person school. My poor five year-old brother had to wait nearly four weeks from his positive test to return to school, because of his unreasonable principle who clearly did not understand the CDC's guidelines for when a person tested positive. Overall, my experience with COVID was an easy one, made more enjoyable by the new games that had been received for Christmas.

During Thanksgiving, my grandparents got COVID-19. My family was going to meet with them for Thanksgiving, but since they had COVID-19, we decided not to. They got over it relatively easily. The only two ways it affected them was they lost their sense of taste and smell and they were very tired. Usually they get up at about 5:00 am and stay up until about 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm, but when they had COVID-19, they got up at about 9:00 am and could only make it to about 3:00 pm.

I have only had 1 family member get COVID-19. It was my great grandma (102) who passed a few days ago due to COVID-19. She had trouble breathing and One of the people in her home must have brought it to her. One of my teachers also got COVID-19. He said that he only had like a fever for a few days but still doesn't feel 100%. One of my friends family went to dinner with someone with the rona but didn't know at the time. They found out and freaked. Emily and I were at their house when they found out. They all got tested and were negative which made sense because none of them felt bad. My step-aunt and her house got COVID and they all had different symptoms. One kid lost taste and the other lost smell. My aunt got a fever and my uncle had trouble breathing. The symptoms of COVID-19 are all different.

The mild symptoms you might have from COVID is a fever or chills, cough, maybe fatigue too. They would also get muscle aches, sore throat or a runny nose. Some severe symptoms you might get are difficulty breathing, high fever, persistent pain in the chest, or an inability to stay awake or wake up. The mild symptoms you just need to stay home for but the severe cases you would have to go to urgent care for. An experience I've had with one of my relatives getting covid wasnt really serious. it was my uncle and he was dealing with it fine with no severe symptoms and he only had it for a couple days. After that, he just took the precautions until the doctor said he was ready to go out again. Now he can't have covid for about 4 more months.

There are many symptoms of Covid-19. My Nana got covid and here are the symptoms she had, she had a sore throat, and was coughing, she also had a little bit of a headache. Within about 2 to 3 weeks her symptoms were gone. What I've learned from people who have had covid is that it affects everyone very differently. These 3-year-old twin girls that I babysit got it and one of them just had a runny nose and the other didn't have any symptoms. However, the mom who also got it and lost her smell and taste and that's all the symptoms she had. Some other common symptoms are sore throat, headache, muscle aches, loss of taste and smell, cough, fatigue, and vomiting.

im really quite lucky to not have known many people with Covid-19, but there are a few people that I do know personally that have/had it. My friend avarie went to ohio for Christmas and on the trip back, they were starting to feel a little sick. they decided to go get tested and her mom was positive. she described feelings of shivers, runny nose, cough, sore throat, nausea, and feeling tires all the time. She was a very healthy person so it didn't affect her maybe as bad as it did others, but it was still bad.

My REDACTED teacher came down with the covid 19 virus. He said that he had a fever, chills, and felt really sick. So, he went to the doctors office and got tested, he was positive. He called the school and said he couldn't come because he was sick. We were all worried for him but he is doing just fine now. My family has been spared from covid, non of our family members have had it thankfully.

I mean I don't really have a personal story. But my buddy did get it and he says it's not that bad. He just has to stay at home for a while. The symptoms of Covid are as follows, 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, Nausea or vomiting, and Diarrhea.

My dads friend had contracted Covid-19 some time around thanksgiving. At first he though he had bronchitis, but when he went to the doctor he was diagnosed with Covid. He had infected his entire family and they were quarantining, he felt tired and had a bad cough, but he got through it easy because he was in shape and young. It would be scary for my grandparents to contract it because I am almost positive they would pass away.

To be honest, when it was first announced that there would no longer be in person school last year, I was pretty excited. I knew about the terrible things happening where Covid originated and that it was spreading rapidly, but all I could focus on was that I had been gifted a second summer break. However, like most things, staying at home every single day eventually turned into a negative. Everyday seemed like another day and the weekends lost their value. The situation really dawned down on me when Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year came and went without even a second look. Holidays I tremendously enjoyed in the past no longer had the same spirit and it felt just like another week. Yet I should feel grateful since nothing has changed. I've been lucky to avoid the serious effects of the pandemic so I guess I should count my lucky stars that fate handed me mundane days instead of no days at all.

Woman works with covid patients and wakes up one morning to discover she can no longer smell. In the video she goes around the house trying to smell different items. Her face becomes more distraught as she realizes she is not smelling anything. This is a popular Tic Tok video type right now. Many people's first sign that something is amiss is the loss of smell and taste.
