A Pandemic Survivor
Daniel Yount* remembers the exact day he began to experience COVID-19 symptoms. It was March 17. At first, he thought his high fever and headache were flu symptoms, but when he contacted his doctor, she asked if he could have been infected with the novel coronavirus. He didn’t think he’d come in contact with anyone who was infected and so after discussing his symptoms they ruled out COVID-19.
Erring on the side of caution, his doctor reported Daniel’s symptoms to Napa County, which requested that Daniel be tested for COVID-19. Two days later he learned he tested positive.
Daniel and his family were immediately quarantined, and while his family felt fine, Daniel got sicker. He lost his appetite and was bedridden. His fever was so high he had trouble thinking clearly. A few days later, a physician friend encouraged Daniel to go to Queen of the Valley’s Gasser Emergency Center.
*The name of the patient has been changed for this story.
