Summary
Mesa 67507 caught COVID in February 2020 in Spain and had a mild acute case, then continuous fatigue, brain fog and rashes from summer 2020 until a week after their second vaccine dose in April 2021. That second dose caused a severe reaction overnight, but by the next morning the dry cough had gone and within a week the other symptoms cleared. By January 2022 they felt largely fine, though bouts of feverishness, aches, tiredness, runny nose and dry cough returned for a day or two, or a week or two.
