It is difficult to generalize about the course of COVID-19, as the severity of the illness can vary widely from person to person. Some people may experience mild symptoms and recover quickly, while others may develop severe illness and require hospitalization.
In general, most people with COVID-19 will experience symptoms that peak around 5-7 days after they become infected, and then begin to improve. However, it is important to note that recovery can take several weeks, and some people may experience lingering symptoms, such as fatigue, cough, or shortness of breath, for a longer period of time.
It is also worth noting that some people with COVID-19 may not experience any symptoms at all, or may have very mild symptoms that they may not even recognize as being caused by the virus.
