This is a consolidated version of what we experienced. I am assuming I will continue to improve, and I will still provide daily updates until my second clean test. My wife has an autoimmune disorder. My kids are between the age of 4-17. One has asthma.
I will first give what the adults experienced (including my 17 year old, but his was mild and shorter in duration) and then what the younger kids experienced. At about days 7 AND 14, we hit the peak of our symptoms. This is different then my friends and kids. Most people did not
have the second peak of symptoms, seems to be pretty rare. Most people I talk to got something similar to what my kids got. Sore throat seems to be more common in people who got symptoms as bad as I did.
