Summary
Sequoia 39056, a 21-year-old MMA athlete, fell ill with COVID on 1 January 2022 and was left with a persistent cough, wheezing, fevers and headaches. Antibiotics and a steroid puffer for walking pneumonia brought brief improvement, but the cough returned within weeks. A fragrance-triggered allergic reaction and tonsillitis worsened them again, and at the time of writing they were coughing and wheezing with fever.
