How sick did they get? What were their symptoms and how long were they sick for? Did anyone’s child have more severe symptoms?
Curious because my 8 year old was exposed by someone at her school, so they were indoors together but masked. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Everyone says if kids do get it that it’s always mild but is that really true? |

7yo had a slightly upset stomach for 24 hours, a temperature of 99.5 a few days later, and has seemed a bit more tired than usual.
9yo complained of a headache one day. |

No it's not true that it's always mild in kids. I'm sorry but don't you read?
DD had it. VERY ill for three weeks. Fourth week started to recover. Some lingering symptoms a year later but lucky compared to some. |

How old is your DD, PP? Most of the cases I’m hearing like this are in teenagers, not little kids. |

| Not *always* OP, but statistically, it's almost guaranteed to be mild. |

15 year old a little tired, low grade fever, and sore throat for about a day and then totally fine, energentic, like nothing happened.
12 year old was sick, with just about every symptom, for a good 2.5 weeks. Took another week to get energy back and a full month to feel back to normal. It was mild, all things considered, but went longer than expected, and also symptoms varied from day to day which was really frustrating. |

| 15 month old had a mild temperature only in the afternoon (100.2) and diarrhea for 36 hours. This was back in early May. We only tested because our nanny was pregnant. Nobody else ever tested positive. |

It’s so crazy how random it really is... two siblings of similar age and two very different outcomes (though both recovered fine in the end) |

Actually it sounds like she was in the unlucky group! I’m sorry. Glad to hear she’s better. |
