Reply to "Covid questions"

My significant other gave it to me after a business trip in March.  He had a horrible experience (no underlying health conditions).  Mine was bad, but not horrible.  However, now I'm having issues after the fact.  In fact I thought I had it again because all of the symptoms I had with Covid came back 7 months after being infected!  They did all kinds of tests because blood clots have been happening at this point in some Covid patients.  Anyway, all was normal except for my Mean platelet volume (MPV), which was low.  It's never been low before.  The dr didn't explain why.  I read that people with IBDs often have a low MPV.  Kind of made me sad because I thought I was over that.  Also interesting that I was never low before.  Watched 60 Minutes last night...the segment Long Haulers.  Scary because I'm experiencing some of that.  So...long story long...even if you have a milder case of Covid, there is no guarantee you won't have problems later.  We are getting another antibody test on Friday to see if we still have the antibodies.  I work in a school where we have over 5,000 students and over 600 staff...total of over 6,000 people.  Every day it's scary even though we are wearing masks and keeping socially distant.  Keep safe everyone!
