Some confirmed patients who spoke to the Washington Post also reported fatigue and headaches and plenty of worry. One of those patients is also an infectious disease expert, and his advice is worth remembering: “Stay calm. Monitor yourself. The number one thing to keep an eye on is breathing. If it becomes difficult to breathe, you should really get to a facility.” (Note: Call the facility before you come!) Others felt fine throughout and would not have known they were sick if they had not been tested. Losing your sense of smell could be a sign of mild COVID-19 cases, according to recent New York Times reporting.
