I Got COVID-19 As A Young Healthy Person And It Kicked My A–
It hits so fast
Another difference between this and the flu, for me, was how fast it comes on. With the flu, you can have a few days when you know you’re getting sick. You know the experience: a little scratchy throat, a little fatigue. The flu announces itself a few days early, so you have time to prepare. With COVID-19, I was fine one day, and bedridden the next. I went on a long walk with my dog the day before and ran tons of errands. I had no hint whatsoever that something had invaded my body. I was shocked by how quickly I went from feeling fine to being fully ill.
