Started to assume it was getting better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 5<\/strong>: Morning felt almost fine. Then afternoon: Very tired, very out of breath, heart palpitations, Mild temperature = 37.5C<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 6<\/strong>: Reduced symptoms compared to day 5, but still very tired and dizzy. New symptom: a chest pain \u2013 like a claw embedded in the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 7<\/strong>: Similar to day 6, but also developed an occasional dry cough<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 8<\/strong>: Much worse – extremely tired, very out of breath. Climbing the stairs felt like climbing Everest. Feeling like very bad high-altitude sickness. A feeling of nausea (just like bad high-altitude sickness)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 9<\/strong>: Similar to day 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 10<\/strong>: Starting to get better similar to day 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 11<\/strong>: Starting to feel much better. Can ascend stairs without getting out of breath. But still tired and dizzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 12<\/strong>: almost OK, but still need periodic Siestas<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay safe!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My close colleague Professor Patrick Degenaar https:\/\/www.ncl.ac.uk\/engineering\/staff\/profile\/patrickdegenaar.html has just sent his report.
