Приthere was a positive result for the SARS-Cov-2 test. I describe the symptoms day by day...

Preface. I believe that I became infected from an employee in the office (who came to work sick and “breathed” on me) - on my part there was a “violation of social distance” and the lack of a mask., Exposure on Monday, November 2. That is, symptoms appeared on the 9th day.

Day 1: On Wednesday November 11 (morning) I felt a sore throat. I went to work by car.
Feelings of aching and stiffness in the joints, it is not comfortable to sit in a chair. At work, a non-contact thermometer showed 36.6 (although it was usually 36.1-36.3), by the evening the temperature was 36.8 C. Sore throat. In the car there is a strong chill. The stove does not help (feeling cold on the feet).

In the evening, when I came home, I fell from 37.3 (fatigue and chills), then by 12 at night the temperature rose to 37.6 C.

Day 2: Called a doctor to the house. The symptoms are a sore throat, a very fast pulse (tachycardia), slight hoarseness (hoarseness) of the voice. Temperature - morning and afternoon 36.8. Oxygen saturation 99% is the maximum.
The doctor listened to the lungs and prescribed gripferon in the nose (drops) - 4 times a day, 2 drops, rinsing with furatsilin (up to 7 times), vitamin "C" in the form of "effervescent tablets" for 10 days, 1 pc. in the morning. The doctor said that my throat was “alarming.”

In the evening at 18-20 I went and got tested for the live SARS-Cov-2 virus in a private laboratory https://helix.ru- swabs from the nose and throat. Since when taking an analysis from a clinic, there is a large delay in results.

How I feel: severe sore throat, hot face. T=37.0-37.1 C. Sometimes I felt a tickle in the throat area and slight pressure in the chest in the trachea area. Slight coughing.

Day 3: November 13 feeling good. Breathing is normal, pulse is rapid. In the morning I feel healthy and cheerful, but in the evening my throat hurts again. Self-isolated. On sick leave. At work, I help over the phone (successfully) remotely. Temperature in the morning 36.8 C, in the evening 37.4, by night before 38.0. There is no impairment of smell yet. There was sneezing a couple of times (although they say it doesn’t happen with Covid-19). Treatment: influenza, vitamin C, gargling with furatsilin...

At three o'clock in the afternoon the test for Covid came - POSITIVE.

Comment: You need to go into self-isolation mode and limit contact with loved ones living with you to a minimum. Call a doctor at home and then follow his recommendations. For all questions, you can contact the Unified Consultation Center of Rospotrebnadzor by phone. 8 800 555 49 43.

Day 4
Проwoke up early in the morning, at 5:50, because... I had a stuffy nose (I took influenza and it helped). Temperature in the morning 37.6. My throat didn’t seem to hurt, but by 10 am there was soreness in the trachea and hoarseness in my voice. The pulse is always rapid - 100 beats. At noon I felt much better and did some exercises. (Straightened his chest by raising his arms).
In the evening, at 16-00, the temperature is 37.8, there is no cough, the throat hurts less. I hope that I follow the “first” scenario, without pneumonia. I read that a good mood and lack of fear (which leads to vasospasm) help prevent you from falling into a serious state. I warm myself with dry heat (hat, sweater, sweatpants, winter socks), drink tea.

Before going to bed, at midnight - 38.2 - the temperature is high again, but I feel good, even some kind of lift in mood, a feeling of energy and lightness. (Indeed, the effect of the Covid-19 virus on the body has not been fully studied). The resting respiratory rate is 12 breaths per minute. Pulse 94 beats per minute. There is no pain. There is no wheezing in the lungs yet either.

Day 5
Деnot similar to the 4th. In the morning, slight runny nose without snot. My throat doesn't feel like it's gone all day. But in the evening I got sick again, the temperature rose - at four o’clock in the evening it was 37.8, chills appeared, cold legs and severe drowsiness, and at 7 o’clock in the evening after sleep it was already 38.6. I can tolerate the temperature easily, without antipyretics. There is no cough or disturbance in the sense of smell. My appetite is normal, but I can’t eat much. (It feels like the turning point of the disease came last night. Now the immune system is killing the remnants of the virus).
By 00 o'clock the condition had worsened slightly: in addition to a sore throat on one side, there was a constant soreness in the chest in the trachea area, much like after inhaling frosty air or smoke. For now I’m holding myself back so as not to start coughing. Pulse 96.

Day 6
No different from day 5 - only I didn’t have a runny nose in the morning and felt more energetic until noon. Body temperature: morning/evening/late evening: 37.2/38.2/38.6.
ГорIt practically doesn’t hurt, but by 16:00 a cough began (a rare non-productive cough). Pulse 102. Coughing gradually turns into a cough, which requires willpower to restrain.

Day 7
In the morning there was a slight bleeding from the nose (it went away immediately). Temperature 37.0/38.0/38.8 degrees morning/evening/night. Pulse fast 112 blows. Breathing is slow, 12 exhalations per minute. The throat does not hurt, there is a soreness in the center of the lungs, a cough. There is no difficulty breathing.

Around midnight I felt short of breath (I wanted to take a deep breath). Breathing also accelerated (13), i.e. the second crisis arrived. Fortunately, there was a hurricane at night and the wind forced oxygen into the room through the cracks in the frame. It was so nice to breathe the cool fresh air!

Day 8
Temperature in the morning 37.7 (I didn’t believe it and measured it twice). But by the evening (17-00) and night (21-00) only 38.2/38.45 degrees - this is a victory over the virus! Although by evening I had ice-cold feet again (I warmed them in the water). I hope tomorrow the temperature will be even lower.
The rawness in the apices of the lungs is weaker, the periodic cough is milder.
Pulse 98, respiration 10.

Day 9
С уI woke up cheerful, but late, about 10 o'clock. Temperature 37.3. It seemed like he was sweating a little.
ИсчThere was an irritated feeling in my chest, my head was clear. Coughing is very rare. Temperature in the evening 37.8. After talking on the phone with a friend (who also had COVID-19, but to an average degree), he coughed, then he warmed up and the cough disappeared. Before night only 38.1. At night pulse 90, respiration 9.

Day 10
The temperature in the morning is immediately normal 36.3!!! In the evening at 16 o'clock - 36.7!!! At 9 pm 37.2.

(I wanted to finish the diary this day, but I’ll save the subsequent measurements for the doctor, because I’m still on sick leave.)

Day 12, Saturday November 21, 2020
In the morning - 35.8, in the afternoon 36.7, in the evening 37.1.

Day 13, Sunday November 22, 2020.
They took a swab from the nose and throat for SARS-COV-2.
I read e-books all day. Temperature 36.3-36.6-36.7.

**Result:

1. The disease proceeded without complications in a mild form. But, remembering how I became infected, I took one breath of someone else’s exhaled air at close range (without protective masks) during a conversation in the office (it’s good that I smelled bad breath and was not in the office with the infectious person for long). The outcome is unknown if exposure to the virus is more significant.

2. When treating a throat, mouth rinse “Forest Balm” (a rinse for gums and teeth made with a decoction of herbs) is very helpful. - during inflammation.

3. Furacilin is a thing. Easy to dilute in warm water and very effective as a rinse.

4. Drink a lot - tea, warm water with jam.

5. Grippferon® drops.

6. Ventilating the window helped.

7. The temperature T° rises at 12 o'clock, the condition worsens at night, and always gets better by morning.

8. I was not embarrassed to sleep in warm clothes and was not afraid of an increase in temperature.

9. Long illness - 9 days.
   10.As with Acute Respiratory Viral Infection (ARVI), the COVID-19 disease descends from top to bottom, from the throat to the lungs, then passes.
   11.After recovery, by late evening the temperature rises to 37.1.
