Summary
Alder 52659 said they had been “recovered” since the end of May 2020, but later described breathlessness when lying down and random heart-rate spikes into the 180s. In mid-August they reported new distorted smell and taste, with some foods, especially eggs, having a rancid taste/smell that destroyed their appetite. Three months after recovery they still had some smell and taste changes. They were pregnant at the time and said their symptoms were put down to that.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
