Many of the 1.7 million Americans who've contracted coronavirus deal with lingering symptoms and a life unrecognizable from the one they had before.

An avid skier will lose eight of his fingers and three toes due to complications from the coronavirus. A 27-year-old who beat the virus is plagued by panic attacks and depression. A Florida survivor struggles with memory and vision loss.

Andujar spent 18 days in a Clifton, New Jersey, hospital, struggling to survive after catching the coronavirus. Initially, recovery at home was tough. He would sleep only a few hours a night before waking up, gasping for air. He stayed away from the MSNBC broadcasts he once watched regularly because too much COVID-19 coverage made him anxious.

Her friends are dying from COVID-19 as she recoversTwo months after she relocated to Denver, Ravi Turman thought her nagging cough was residual altitude sickness or a bad cold. She still struggles with back pain but feels she’ll be back at 100% soon. She wants to show African Americans and other minority groups they can survive COVID-19, too. She survived 9/11, now her heart races from coronavirus At her darkest moment, when her lungs squeezed closed and she felt near death, Wendy Lanski latched on to one thought: “Osama bin Laden didn’t kill me. I’m not dying from this virus.

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.

It took 17 days to cremate Daniel Alvino and another month to inter him because of the backlog of bodies. Earlier this month a few limited family members gathered at St. Charles/Resurrection Cemeteries in Long Island to finally lay her father’s remains to rest. Palmer's anxiety is never too far off. Recently, while at the supermarket, she saw a woman without a face mask picking out a potato. It sent her heart racing.Palmer, an IT auditor, says people should realize the battle against COVID-19 doesn’t end when survivors leave the hospital. 'It’s like a dragon waiting to eat you alive'For 11 days, Patricia Cruz Elostta laid in a bed at a field hospital set up in New York's Central Park to treat coronavirus patients.

When she goes for walks outside, Cruz takes frequent breaks, stopping on benches to catch her breath. She’s starting to cook meals and clean her home, tasks she cherished pre-pandemic. But constant sharp pains in her back and right hand remind her the virus is not done with her yet. It frustrates Morrone when people only talk about those who have died from COVID-19 or those who have fully recovered. His toes and fingers will likely have to be amputated Gregg Garfield uses a walker to steady his balance. The top halves of his fingers are black and gnarled and will soon be removed, a constant reminder of the 31 days spent on a ventilator fighting for his life against COVID-19.

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.”

After quarantining himself for 12 days, Roperez returned to work, where COVID-positive employees had their own entrance. His energy sapped, he’d tire easily. But in a facility with 120-plus elderly patients terrified of the virus, he’s trying to lift spirits. He makes his personal protective equipment into costumes – astronaut one day, superhero the next – “and it gives light to everybody,” he says.

But life after COVID-19 has also been hard. She’s 18 pounds lighter. She’s still winded, still fatigued. Her rheumatoid arthritis feels worse than ever so that she can’t turn the cap on a water bottle, can’t grip a steering wheel. A recent walk lasted about six minutes before she felt unbearable pain in her feet and knees.She’s anxious about her future.

Her 13-year-old son is still sick with coronavirus, fighting off high fevers and crippling headaches. He’s the only other person in their family to test positive. She knows firsthand he won’t be back to normal anytime soon. At night, her legs burn like they’ve been scorched by the sun. She quickly loses breath while planting flowers outside.Her fourth time in the hospital In her hospital room in Fairfax, Virginia, Donna M. Talla keeps the television on CNN to track the death toll and learn more about hydroxychloroquine.
