Daisy Brown: A Brush with Covid, Baltimore
In 2021, a coalition of national museum and library associations awarded the Peale (Baltimore, Maryland) a Communities for Immunity grant. The goal of the project is for trusted, local institutions to engage their communities in order to boost COVID-19 vaccine confidence. Since being awarded the grant, we've been gathering stories from people about their experiences with COVID and getting the vaccine.
Daisy Brown (00:01): Hi, this is Daisy and I just want to share a little bit of. I guess I'd say it was a Covid scare that I had over our Christmas break. And also leading well within the week of the Year's Eve. I was having symptoms of Covid, and I decided to look up. You know what you look for.
Daisy Brown (00:34): And, so they had different things and what symptoms were underneath them. Like there was Covid-19. There was the Omicron, Omicron, I'm on saying it, right. And then there was the flu, and it look like from the list, some of the symptoms that I had was off of everything. So, it was confusing to me. So, nonetheless, I wasn't well enough to go anywhere to do anything. So, I just decided to quarantine myself while I was dealing with this, and I experienced uncontrollable coughing, sneezing.
Daisy Brown (01:19): No energy to do anything except for to get up and walk my dog. Maybe fix myself some tea and then lay that down again, that was about all that I could do.
Daisy Brown (01:39): I would have headaches off and on. My body, I did ache but not painfully, just uncomfortable. So, whatever it was it was like the bare minimum of what others may have experienced. But still another level. I wasn't able to do anything. I am fully vaccinated. So, it may or may not have anything to do with it, but I didn't want to take any chances, so I sanitized everything.
Daisy Brown (02:15) I wiped down everything. Um, Lysol sprayed the house to keep germs away and just did absolutely nothing as far as going outside and just stayed at the house. Yeah, it was . . .
Daisy Brown (02:35): I wasn't afraid, but I just want to make sure that I took care of myself and nurtured myself as this is going on for things. Don't. Get worse. So, this is my first week out of quarantine. I'm feeling much better.
