Summary
In February 2020 Orchid 79501 had a cold-like illness with loss of taste, then burning and tingling in hands and feet, leg weakness, brain fog and fatigue; they slowly got better after a neurologist found nothing. In late October 2022 a visiting parent tested positive; they then got sick, tested positive and were in bed for several days. A couple days before writing, the tingling and fatigue on normal activity returned.
