I ended up in the hospital with covid. Not sure which variant but i caught it once and it wasn't bad at all. The second time, I had respiratory failure and pneumonia.
wow im glad ur alright. maybe u caught both strains at once
I think the first time, it was the initial variant because it happened in April of 2020 (literally just a few months after entering the US). I think the 2nd time was the Delta variant because my symptoms were completely different. It literally put me on my ass. I feel bad for anyone that catches it. The worst part was the never ending migraine. No matter how many ibuprofen or Aleve I took, it didn't help. I was disoriented from oxygen deprivation. I couldn't move most days. All I did was lay but that's what gets you. Laying around allows the pneumonia to set up in you and makes it worse.
