Summary
Pond 94355 caught COVID in late June 2022 and took 17 days to test negative. They felt better for a few weeks, then from August had a racing heart, breathlessness, headaches and brain fog, and could not think at all. They went off Adderall when it stopped working and were afraid to restart because of the elevated heart rate, and kept working from home. By December 2022 they still felt badly affected and had not recovered.
