Do you think death is the only bad thing that can happen to you after hospitalization for the coronavirus?
My sister in law tested positive. She's in SF. Went on a road trip to Colorado three weeks ago. Came back to SF with a fever and no sense of taste or smell. Quarantined herself and her boyfriend (he had no symptoms). She's fine now but she said she feels fatigued quicker now, but doesn't know if that's leftover from corona or because she's been sitting at home for two weeks and not being active (she usually bikes/walks/runs daily).
Another side effect was that she lost her appetite. Didn't care about eating unless she was super hungry, and then would eat whatever was available (didn't want to cook or prepare anything). This is really odd for her cause she LOVES cooking/baking and trying new recipes all the time. She didn't know if that was simply due to the loss of taste and smell or that corona made her apathetic toward her normal behaviors.
She said unusual, vivid dreams too.

Predictions beginning to come to pass...
Pay close attention to the part about 3rd world travel - it's just another piece of the puzzle in regards to the fact the 3rd world is becoming much less stable...which of course will negatively affect us all in ways yet unknown.
The realist forsees things getting pretty heavy.
On the first world problems end of things, many popular surf destinations will be devastated and likely become a heck of a lot more dangerous.

I am doing fine.
I have not died of CV-19 as of now. I do not expect to later either, but one never knows.
I do not personally know of anyone who has died of CV-19, but maybe my luck will change in the coming months.
As a side note, one of dear old dad's friends did die. Positive test, a few 'how are you today phone calls', and then within two weeks, a mention in the obituary. I don't expect my father to lie about such things despite his flair for the dramatic.
Am keeping my mask on in hopes of keeping myself and others safe, sense of solidarity of 'we are in this together', and because it isn't a bridge too far for me.
Per abc7 news here in Los Angeles right now,
my county will hit 5,000 deaths from Corona today,
but hospitalizations are down...

because of course, you'd rather have public health policy set by by people with zero medical or public health experience. this is so Idaho:

Idaho Lawmaker: "Listening To Experts Is An Elitist Approach" To Coronavirus Restrictions
A group of Idaho lawmakers is pushing a bill that would strip the power of public health districts to close schools during an emergency or mandate masks…

This could be the end of the latest round of globalization - another "1177 BC" event. There are also only 3 places in the world that build reliable commercial jets for airline transport. All of those places are going downhill. hmmm...new age of sail?
In other news:
a sailboat is a logical response for reasons of health and avoiding social ills.
At the time you wrote that (Apr 6), the Press was crucifying Anders Tegnell. Now they've shifted the goalposts to say that the Swedes were doing voluntary lockdowns and social distancing. Or they're interviewing the Swedish Karen and maintaining the same narrative, despite the Lancet article showing COVID 19 deaths per million were largely unaffected by lockdowns. These are the countries with the worst deaths/million and the countries in red had lockdowns:
To the extent that lockdowns accomplished something for Sweden's Nordic neighbors, the deaths have just been pushed to the future.
In other news, there has been much pearl-clutching on this forum about the true deadliness of COVID-19. The CDC is now providing serological tracking, which gives an estimate of the true denominator in the IFR for a given location. Here's a screencap for the metro NY area of round 2:
In other words, take the number of reported cases and multiply by 10 to get the estimated number of infections. The IFR for this location is the number of deaths in that location divided by the estimated number of infections. The CDC does this with every other illness it tracks, like influenza.
California is, as with everything else, way behind on its serological tracking. It has data only for round 1 dating back to the end of April (this might be why our LatinX public health lady just resigned). Serological studies performed in May by two California universities estimated 5% had antibodies.
