COVID
VS
Thursday , June 25 , 2020 , I woke up early in the morning , like I always do , preparing for my workday . This day something felt different . My body felt different . Now , I usually get a cold once a year , but it was too early in the year for my yearly cold . I had a headache , and my throat was slightly hurting . Instantly , I knew I had contracted the dreaded , deadly COVID-19 . As the day progressed , I grew worse , and although I had not tested yet , I KNEW within myself I had it . I moped around all day but still not calling the doctor .
Friday morning came with new symptoms , along with the symptoms I had the day before . At this point , judging from the body aches and the high fever , I knew I had to seek medical attention . I called the doctor and scheduled an appointment for a COVID- 19 test .
