I contracted covid last year, just after arriving. My memory told me that it was not very severe; then, I re-read a poem I'd written while sick. I'd described my back as being "a sheet of fire".
How very easy it is to gloss over that which is too painful to recall.
Thanks, Everyone, for keeping our memories and awareness fresh and for contributing additional information.
Let's be kind to ourselves and others, Folks, and stay home when not feeling well. (I know, it's been said before, but let's DO it!)
