My coronavirus just won't go away

He's fasting at 80% now, which is great.

Maybe it did work and this would have progressed to my lungs. I did have a little bit of a throat problem but it went away. The lungs is the one place you do not want this to go.

2 days ago, I did drink a lot of coffee, but a few hours later, I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. I felt a weird pain in my left arm. Tightness in my chest. I knew it was probably the coffee but I decided to call Emergency Services. They came to my house, wore masks, and did an ECG. No heart attack! But later when I spoke to the Covid-19 'virtual clinic' doctor, he said he wanted me to drive to the hospital and get checked out.

So I went in, was brought to the Covid-19 ward and got my own room. I was there for about 25 hours. X-ray. Blood and urine samples. Nose/throat swab. They said the lungs look good, blood samples good, and I'll hear back soon about whether the virus is still in my system. I barely slept as I had a IV drip in my arm. Everytime you roll over the alarm sounds. Eventually I learnt how to fix it without hitting the button. They had to gown up every time they came in and then they throw those gowns in the trash.

I slept maybe an hour before they woke me at 4am for another test (the nose jab.)

Not a fun time. I was glad to leave.

Today I am feeling less light headed which is good. Headache has gone down too. But the loss of taste is still there. I really notice it eating flavoured chips like Doritos or Pringles. I can taste the corn or the potato but not the flavouring. Sense of smell also isn't all the way back.

I really hope this hasn't done any permanent damage to these senses. Old people lose these with age but I'm 39 and hope that it will heal itself.
