I think forum as a community can be helpful for pooling resources for aspirants away from home for preparation.
Any leads for medicines / doctors / home care especially in Delhi will be very helpful
This is just a thank you note to everyone who has contributed to this thread. Reading through it helped me formulate a good enough plan for me and my family. Although still in room isolation, things are definitely looking better. I showed mild symptoms on 27th. But they subsided on 29th itself. For dad it was a bit longer from 28th to 2nd. Now feeling much better. vitals all good. thanks to you guys i didnt have to scramble for info and knew the simple dos and donts without any confusion. And the biggest take away- Being positive in attitude to be negative in corona! :)

@NOLEisGOAT happy to hear you didn't have too bad an experience and that both of you are doing better! Take enough rest now and keep taking care friend :D
Amid all this chaos let me share some positive things regarding my experience with covid( till now).
At the very outset let me clarify that I am not a medical professional. My learnings with health and fitness is more on grounds of experience rather than knowledge of books and technicalities.
I have been infected twice till now, first in September last year and then March this year. Both times I recovered within 24 hours . Loss of smell and taste continued for 10-12 days but physically I was completely normal. Both times I didn't go for test even, not out of my ignorance but because I knew this fever and cold will normalise.
May be I was lucky but I believe the main reason for my quick recovery was my involvement in sports since childhood. I am a sprinter and I have won multiple medals at national level in school and college. I played my first state level in class nine. After my graduation in 2019 although I left professional athletics but I have tried to maintain shape with regular running and gyming.
By no means I am suggesting anyone to take this virus lightly, but I want to say that even if you get infected DON'T PANIC! Most experts are suggesting that there is 80-85% probability that you will recover naturally.
If possible engage yourself in some form of physical workouts. Wheather its jogging or gyming or dancing... do whatever the hell you want to do but for god sake keep that blood pumping in your body for one hour. There are thousands of videos and websites available for home workouts.. Search online, if you don't find anything just DM me I am always there for you.
In my training days my coach used to tell me that the discipline which you put on your body gets reflected on your mind. In those days I never understood what he was saying (jab khoon garam hota hai toh dusron ki batein kam samajh ati hain) but today I understand those words. It all starts with the mind.
If you are thinking that by doing nothing you are ' saving time ' and ' protecting yourself ' let me tell you that you are badly mistaken. If you don't believe me ask a guy who couldn't do anything for 20 odd days after infection. By doing nothing we are making our body vulnerable to all sorts of diseases. Workouts will boost your immunity, decrease your mood swings and improve overall productivity.
There is nothing more powerful than human spirit. If you have to go out of your home for any reason don't step out with fear in you. Use all protective gears and have that conviction in your heart that this virus is temporary but I am here to stay!
P.S- This post is for normal people. If you develop complexities plz seek professional help as soon as possible.
Vaccinated.
Never got into Oxford, but this time Oxford got in my veins.
Leke dekho, achha lagta hai !
The vaccine does not contain the whole virus. Instead vaccine simply get your cells to produce spike protein that is typically found on the surface of the virus, against which antibodies are produced by our immune system.

Hey, I had a experience similar to yours. BUT, the thing is the people who do end up loosing their smell and taste - are classified as milder cases. Which is what I think most of us would fall into.
Its the rest we need to be careful about. The worst thing one can do is to try to "ride it out" at home. I think always having a doctor on call is the most sensible thing to do. In this wave, people have been increasingly having pneumonia, so timely medical intervention can make a day/night difference. We have had a BIG health scare at home last week with someone infected from COVID, so I can only advice people to be proactive in recognizing warning signs of a possible lung infection - which are fever lasting longer than a few days, or oxygen dipping below 94. Keep an eye out for these. Rest, need not worry.
Also, username checks out :P Completely agree on the exercise part.

Hey, thanks for your words.
In that phase I was constantly in touch with some of my schoolmates who are practicing doctors now. They also gave me some prescriptions. I kept them with me. Its just that I usually refrain from taking any kind of medicines until I really feel down. Plz don't misunderstand my strong conviction on natural recovery as any sort of casualness. I take utmost care of every minute details, specially when its about health.
I completely agree on seeking timely professional help part.
hey guys im still under room isolation since 27th. no symptoms now. will it be safe to get vaccinated now? will it even be allowed? read somewhere that those who recover need to wait 4-5 weeks before getting vaccinated. somewhere else the figure is 2-3 weeks. what would you advise?
This image is from FAQs of MoHFW website. You can have a look
@Usain_bolt heard something similar from dr guleria just now. consulted own family doc as well. he advised waiting for a month after thursday (10th day)
Great bhai🤗
