Exposed to COVID on Friday, symptoms first showed on Sunday morning and have progressed since then. Everything except for loss of taste has showed up. Respiratory symptoms hit today, but it has been mild soreness in right side of chest, occasional mucus with a mild cough. No shortness of breath for the most part.
How bad does it get from here?
sorry to hear that. i hope you get better soon. I haven't had COVID so I can't answer your question. I am curious--how long were you exposed to the person and how close did you get?

How long after your exposure did you test positive?
13 kids on my XC tested positive. None had symptoms.

Did you test positive?
How were you exposed?
The OP didn't bother replying.
I guess he never tested positive.
. . . or he died.

So this makes him the 3rd letsrunner to have died due to Covid, behind tall texan's son's friend (2:30 marathoner), tall texan himself, and now the OP.
3:44 22 yo 1500 runner last year. Had it for a month with some breathing problems and pain in my chest. Peak around 1-2 weeks, then it got better but took really long to get completely symptom free.
Unfortunately I was out with a buddy at the bars, and it was relatively crowded...definitely a poor choice, and I obviously ran the risk. I hadn't been to bars since quarantine hit, and went through a rough breakup recently, so from a psychological standpoint I figured it would be healthy to have some interaction in person with friends.
Poor choice, as they always want to be at bars on the weekends.
3 days.
Sorry my responses have been late, but I have been pretty much down for the count. As evidenced by my responses now, I am still alive. Also, I am 29 years old. Having a little trouble breathing today, but not coughing up blood, just having a lot of mucus build up.
Not training as hard as I did in college, but still run every morning, and my resting HR hovers between 43-48. I am hoping the respiratory side gets better soon, as this progression does not make sense at all. I woke up this morning feeling like I was making progress, and then midway through the afternoon I started having some difficulty with my breathing...
Just found out that the controller at one of my client's businesses passed away from COVID after being in the hospital for 50 days. A bookkeeper in the same office also died from COVID. 40s and 50s.
If you are young and are not afraid of getting COVID, at least be sure to get tested and isolate if you get it. It is no joke. You really could get someone killed if you spread it.

Oof sorry to hear that, what a shame. And agreed - to young people who aren't afraid, don't expose others if you haven't been social distancing etc.
While I never had a positive diagnostic test (impossible to get unless literally dying in March) I did test positive for antibodies in late April once those tests were available.
39y/o male in NYC. With hindsight something was first off on a Monday...a tempo run was harder than it should have been. By Thursday I could barely run 4 miles at about 2 minutes slower than marathon pace and had developed a slight cough. Figured I had a cold, I get one in March every year. Slept most of Friday and until about 12pm Saturday. Woke up feeling ok went for a run and it was a disaster, barely made it home. Breathing to this point was ok.
By Saturday around 7pm I was barely able to get out of bed. Felt like someone was sitting on my chest. Wife had to help me get from our bedroom to living room in our 1-bedroom NYC apartment, I couldn't shower without rest breaks because I got so winded. Between Saturday night and Tuesday night there were multiple times where we both agreed that if my breathing got any worse I'd have to go to the hospital.
Started to feel better Wednesday and while still super tired and would get winded walking around the apartment I was symptom free by that Friday for a total of 12 days of being sick/something not right, of which 3.5 were awful,
If it means anything I've been "better" since late March. Breathing is not close to normal, I am on multiple inhalers and getting continued testing from a pulmonologist, have lost just about all short-term memory and am losing my hair (evidently a little of 25% of people who get sick do).
So PSA to everyone out there. This sh!t is real. Take care of yourself and others!
3 more positives on the team. None with symptoms. First ones tested positive 4 weeks ago. We have about 40 total who have tested positive in the school but not one had any symptoms. No sports or school shutdowns resulted.
Husband got it just over 2 weeks ago. Sick for 2 days. Headache and fever. He was sick enough I had to drive him to the testing site. The 3rd day he was just weak from not eating. My children and I did not get sick but did have a few normal seasonal allergy symptoms in the weeks before my husband was sick. His friends that were with him the entire day he got the fever tested negative.
3 of my husband's co workers got it but none of them had been exposed to each other. The co workers exposed to them all tested negative.
My aunt is 70 and was sick for 1 day with a headache and fever.
80 year old I know also had it and his was similar to my husband. His elderly wife that smokes did not get it. Both have various heath problems.
78 year old I know collapsed last Thursday and died today. Perhaps may have lived if he had sought medical attention before it was too late. He was overweight with some lung issues but was in otherwise very good heath.
None of the confirmed cases were exposed to each other directly and all were sick in the last 2 weeks. I suspect that it is everywhere in the community but only those with a fever or exposed due to work are getting tested.
My symptoms peaked at 8 days after showing symptons. Ended up in the ER due to low readings on pulse oximeter. Cough was pretty bad.
Improved rapidly after that but my running is not back to normal 6 weeks out.
