Woman Shares Her “Terrifying” Symptoms Of Coronavirus That The CDC Doesn’t Talk About, Says No One Wants To Live Through This

The Center For Disease Control And Prevention reports 5 emergency warning signs for Coronavirus that indicate you should seek help immediately. They include trouble breathing, persistent pain (or pressure) in the chest, new confusion, inability to wake up (or stay awake), bluish lips (or face.) A wide range of Covid-19 symptoms involve cough, fever, headache, loss of taste and smell, and more.

Meanwhile, a young woman named Dani Oliver has been sick with “terrifying” coronavirus symptoms for over 3 months now. In a viral Twitter thread, Dani listed everything she has to go through on a daily basis. But the Brooklyn-based writer who “has been incapacitated for a season of her life” says she’s not unique.

According to Dani, “medical science doesn’t know what to do with the hundreds of thousands of COVID patients who don’t get better in the CDC guidelines of 2-6 weeks.” Thus, she urges everyone to wear masks because the suffering can last way longer than one would expect.

    Infectious disease specialist at Mayo Clinic, William F. Marschall, warns that along with the common coronavirus symptoms like shortness of breath, muscle aches, chills, sore throat, and chest pain, there are others that you might not expect. They include gastrointestinal symptoms like a loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

    Other symptoms could be related to skin changes. “Younger people with less severe COVID-19 might develop painful, itchy lesions on their hands and feet that resemble chilblains, an inflammatory skin condition.” Elders and patients with severe infections can develop confusion.

    Other unusual symptoms include eye problems such as “enlarged, red blood vessels, swollen eyelids, excessive watering, and increased discharge.”

    Dani thanked everyone for reading and asked people to donate to Black Lives Matter

    My cousin was asymptotic and didn't wear a mask to work. She gave it to her coworkers and two people died. One is in the hospital for 2 months now and another was put in a coma. The ones recovering are still sick it's been months. Personally I think she should go to prison. She did not quarantine for 14 days after finding out she'd been exposed bc she thinks people that do that are sheep. People are downright scary right now

    Your cousin is an idiot and you are right, should be prosecuted. It is no different, in my opinion, to the HIV positive person who has sex unprotected and spreads it knowing they are positive. that is illegal, and this should be too.

    My step sister had Covid-19. She is a nurse and held the hand of a Covid patient as she was dying because family weren’t allowed in and believes that is how she contracted it. She said it was the worst she has ever felt in her life and she lives and extremely healthy lifestyle, eats healthy, exercises, has no underlying medical issues etc and she was off work and isolated for a little over a month. She said her body was in so much pain, breathing and coughing was horrible and was far more worse than any flu she has ever had.

    And this is why non violent me gets the overwhelming urge to deck people who get in my bubble at the grocery store. If you're human, you breathe and you don't live in my house, I don't what you anywhere near me.
