I wear a Garmin watch that monitors heart rate, stress, etc. That was fun to map out my COVID timeline on.
Same. I only really paid attention to day one to day three of symptoms, but my body battery was super low on day two plus non stop stress through the first night (fever that broke around 4am)
The stress was a bitch. I work full-time in a grocery store and had a wife and newborn isolated at home every day. Not only was I constantly exposed to the public, but every little symptom or perceived symptom (lot of psychological/false positive over two years) would get the anxiety brewing inside of me, fearing I would eventually bring it home and potentially lose one of them. Every wet cough out of that kid would keep me up at night. This got a little better as the pandemic went on, and I wouldn't say I was in a constant state of paranoia, but fuck me if it wasn't a slice of Mr. Bones' Wild Ride.
You could argue my wife has it worse, though, being isolated at home with a baby for so long with little to do over the long Canadian winters. It definitely wasn't how she imagined mat leave would be.
