I had GI issues for over a week, and then a bad cough with some chest tightness over the last few days. Along with some intermittent body aches and chills, but no fever. In NJ, and 3/4 of my neighborhood experiencing some of the same symptoms, but they will not test unless you need to be hospitalized. I'm pretty much just waiting to lose my sense of taste/smell now to confirm (and also cause I heard that is a sign that virus is on way out). BH while I do feel like just climbing into bed half the time, I am definitely able to function, hope it doesnt get worse.... On the silver lining front, between the stomach issues and not much appetite, I have lost 13 lbs. over the past week  :)

And could not smell the besomim tonight.... hopefully on the way out now. I would like to add something I heard directly from a Dr. in Maimonides, he said they've been finding that staying in Tylenol pretty much back to back has been helping alleviate the symptoms for those with milder cases and more importantly, seems to shorten the duration of them as well. Everyone stay well and refuel shleima to those who are sick!!

Never heard of Tylenol shortening the duration of anything.

According to Dr Fauci many viruses can cause loss of smell and taste.

At the present moment, terrible aches, sleeping all day, and some other symptoms.
that's already after 11 days? Did he have symptoms when he first took the test?

Is there a test that can tell if you had the virus. What I mean is you never showed any symptoms but had the virus.

I believe there’s a blood test.

It would be nice to know once the first wave is over.

An antibody blood test.
I don't think that exists yet in the US, but it's being worked on.

And they should speed up this process, to get all people that had it already, back to work.

My wife has all symptoms, and I’m fine BH. She didn’t test because she’s BH healthy and they’re not doing tests here anymore on healthy people.
So.... I have a few symptoms.... coughing, stuffed nose, stomachaches, left foot is in agony, BH no fever.
Hope this passes fast.
