COVID-19 symptoms and family

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.
