Summary
Acorn 81167 tested positive for COVID in December and had only nasal congestion and loss of smell as symptoms. They considered themselves recovered about a month later, though congestion continued, sometimes in one nostril, along with an occasional sensation of something stuck on one side of their throat or a sore throat on waking. A humidifier they bought helped their stuffy nose somewhat.
