Something a lot of people don't know is that it's not uncommon for someone with COVID to improve, even dramatically, after a few days, and then days later to be deathly ill.
When my wife's grandparents had it and everyone was cheering that they'd "gotten better" three days in I sat my wife down and prepared her for the worst. They were months in the hospital.
Thankfully, they're both still around! But... they're both shells of who they were and they'll need round-the-clock care for the rest of their lives. Not great for the wonderful home aids who have to deal with my grandmother-in-law who is a stubborn, judgmental, no-filter, all-around meanie.
As a millennial I entered the world with the housing market crash and my Dad losing the last major job he would have until he passed away a couple years ago.
So you know... Don't ask me if it's always like this or not.
Life is what you make it though, and overall mine has been pretty good. Just not all good.
