Summary
Kestrel 77500 caught COVID-19 in December 2020. They were exhausted for two weeks and lost their sense of taste and smell, then returned to normal, but stress continued to trigger breathing symptoms that felt like fluid in there and an inability to take a full breath. By March 2021 the breathing problem still came back with stress, and breathing exercises helped only briefly.
