What was your experience like?
- jshaqaw 6y agoVery minor. Aside from loss of smell for a month my wife and I had no significant symptoms. I felt pretty exhausted but those weeks in NYC were so crazy that it’s hard to say what was Covid and what was ambient stress. My kids had positive antibody tests but never had symptoms. We were very fortunate.
- redis_mlc 6y agoJust FYI: In NorCal there was no "crazy" or ambient stress, unless one overreacted to the headlines. Very calm here.
- jshaqaw 6y agoIf you were managing the conversion of an entire elementary and junior high school to remote learning on the fly in the midst of a pandemic while you and your spouse had said pandemic while overseeing the mental health of your children while also dealing with parents who had Covid at the same time you might have seen your stress level tick up but I’m glad you live such a chill and unencumbered lifestyle.
- redis_mlc 6y agoThanks, in SV most if not all companies were ready for remote ops. Schools are in a tough spot because the in-school computer experience wasn't great to start with.
- jackmodern 6y agolack empathy much?
- ashtonkem 6y agoLoss of smell apparently is correlate with more minor cases and better outcomes. I don’t believe we know why yet.
- kuroguro 6y agoEither that or people with more serious symptoms have other things to worry about and don't notice/report it. Additional research required.
