If you do have covid please come cough on me so I can get it and get my 4 weeks off paid time.

Trust me when I tell you, you do not want this. I was never concerned about getting it because I figured I'd be asymptomatic or mild symptoms at worse. That has not been the case at all. Yesterday morning when I woke up, I was in so much pain that all I could do is curl up in the fetal position which combined with the other symptoms caused me to have breathing difficulties as I think I had a panic attack.

I've basically shuffled between a camping bed and the sofa for the last 3 days. All my symptoms are still present today but aren't as bad as yesterday. I have now developed chest pains in the sides of my ribcage. I'm familiar with this type of pain as it is similar to the pain from when I had multiple pneumothoraxes when I was younger (which eventually resulted in double lung surgery / pleurodesis as a preventative). So I have to assume that is the virus attacking my lungs.

My biggest concern is actually my old deaf cat who absolutely adores me. She never leaves the bedroom but constantly looks for me all day in there when she's awake and will cry for me. And I can't go see her because I'm terrified she will get it and at her age it would likely be fatal. My other 3 cats and dog are all young enough where I obviously don't want them to get it but I don't think it would be fatal.
