Damn, that's sad. Hope you guys don't mind me sharing, but I got Covid myself back in August. It was a shitty 21 days, I tell ya.
Luckily, it wasn't so bad that I had to go to the hospital, but it was still bad enough that I practically went insane for the full 14 days that I was sick because I had no one to talk to, nor nothing to do but try to get some rest.
I didn't lose my sense of taste or smell, but I did have nausea around the 4th day that lasted for a full week. The thought of even eating made me wanted to vomit. But I still had to force myself because I was already weak, not getting enough nutrients will for sure kill me.
I couldn't fully take a breath without my chest feeling like it would explode if I try to breathe even more. I can only get to around half a breath before my chest begins to hurt, the whole time I felt like I was just gasping for air. Though it was annoying, it made me appreciate that I could even breathe. I heard that the severe symptoms of Covid pretty much prevents you from breathing without help from either a machine or an oxygen tank.
Then there was being unable to sleep due to both Covid and stressing myself over the thought that I had Covid and had possibly infected other people. I was playing with my niece before I got the news, and the thought of her dying because I was careless sent me into a spiral that I almost wasn't able to make it out.
Good thing she tested negative.
The most terrible episode I had of it was when I was trying to sleep, and I felt like I had slept for hours. When I wake up, I found that only 10-15 minutes had passed. Rinse and repeat until 8 am. I was pretty much crying my eyes out around 3 am when I still couldn't properly get some sleep.
After the 14 days, the fever subsided, my nausea was slowly disappearing, and for the first time in the 14 days, I was able to get a full night's sleep, one that lasted for a freaking 16 hours, give or take. I willingly quarantined myself for another 7 days just to be sure, getting Covid definitely makes you paranoid.
All of this was the result of getting just the mild symptoms of Covid, I couldn't imagine myself getting the severe symptoms, one where you need oxygen tanks to even breathe.
So yeah, my condolences to the developer. I barely know what his father went through, and it definitely sucks, but I hope he takes into consideration the small silver lining that is that his father is finally free from the pain that covid had brought unto him.
