But many of the more than 1.7 million Americans who've contracted the disease are confronting puzzling, lingering symptoms, including aches, anxiety attacks, night sweats, rapid heartbeats, breathing problems and loss of smell or taste.
He doesn’t know if he’ll have long-term lung damage. For now, he’s enjoying being surrounded by friends and family. Earlier this month, he watched through a bedroom window as his grandson Miguel celebrated his fourth birthday in his yard. A neighbor, a retired fireman, parked a fire truck on the street and ran the siren, to Miguel’s delight.

The initial fog of confusion surrounding those attacks – Who did it? Where is it safe? – feels a lot like the uncertainty circling the coronavirus, Lanski says. For now, she wears a heart monitor to keep track of her rapid heartbeat. She often wakes up in the middle of the night in cold sweats.
The toughest part was when a doctor asked if she wanted to take her dad off his ventilator. The hospital staff said there was nothing more they could do for him. As she suffered from the same virus that was killing him, Tracey Alvino made the decision to let her father go. He died four days later. After returning home, it took about 10 days for the back pain and fatigue to fade but TV reports of patients dying alone in hospital rooms sent her into depression and questions whirled through her head incessantly: Why did she survive? When will she start feeling normal again? What if the dark moods never go away? She started seeing a counselor online and joined a support group on Facebook.
Her condition eventually improved enough to be transferred to a nursing home for rehab. There, she met up with her mom, Maria Alvarado, 80, who was also recovering from COVID-19. One day, as they sat together at a table, Cruz watched as Alvarado seized up and collapsed on the floor from a heart attack.

Garfield, 54, was “Patient Zero” at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California, outside Los Angeles. He caught the coronavirus while on a ski trip with friends in Italy in February and was admitted to the hospital on March 5, becoming its first COVID-19 patient. This was a new symptom. He had endured a fever, dry cough, headache, no sense of taste. None of those had forced him to the emergency room, but this one did.
“I walk around my neighborhood and see people with no masks, talking in each other’s faces,” he says. “People are going back to beaches in certain states, and rates are going up. What are we doing? This is crazy to me.”When he was sick with coronavirus, Cliff Roperez quarantined in a tent inside his bedroom, pictured left, keeping away from his wife and two children....

She used to run 2 to 5 miles a day in Central Park. Now she’s winded after walking up four flights of stairs to the front door of her Manhattan home. Long walks outside, she says, can “cloak me in exhaustion.” Susan Owens, left, in a photo before contracting the coronavirus and at right after recovery. Most of Owens' symptoms have passed, and she’s tested positive for antibodies. But she keeps testing positive for the virus, too. “I’ve stumped ‘em,” she says. Before contracting the virus, she hosted her 4-year-old granddaughter, Adelie, for weekly sleepovers. Now, they settle for air hugs.
She suspects the medicine used to treat her COVID-19 weeks earlier may have saddled her with side effects, including a racing heart that landed her in the hospital on Monday for the fourth time since March.
