#COVID19 Testimonial:

"I am a healthy person, active without health conditions. I love the outdoors, sports, and exercise. However, I have never been as sick as I was with COVID-19. From beginning to end, I was symptomatic for 14 days with new symptoms almost daily (at least it felt that way). I still have residual symptoms. Headaches, fatigue, and congestion are still lingering at four weeks. I have realized how lucky I was to be informed about COVID-19 precautions. Knowing
quickly what to do to protect my family, isolating effectively, helped limit the "disruption" to our family. Though we were able to control the disruption of "time quarantined", having COVID-19 has left a lasting impact on my family. They were afraid for me and felt helpless that they could not be with me while I was ill. They felt lonely being at home, and they were hesitant to share with others. Right or wrong, there is a sense of blame when you have COVID-19. What did I do wrong? Was I not careful enough? But the reality is that this is a pandemic for a reason, and even with safety precautions in place, it is spreading throughout our communities. But, now is not the time to give up. It is time to up our efforts, check on your loved ones, and stay diligent with masking, social
distancing, cleaning, and gathering."
