Summary
Quail 37942 became very sick in mid-December with a respiratory virus and later believed they were a long COVID hauler. A z-pack only relieved the fever for a day, and a persistent cough, loss of smell and taste, and dizziness after exertion followed. By December 2020 they still needed a rescue inhaler at all times, getting winded and dizzy after even a few stairs.
