Months later, he was still sick.Scott Krakower started getting the chills and sweats at his Long Island home in mid-April. He thought it was a cold, until he couldnt taste anything.
Once the coronavirus test came back positive, Krakower, a medical expert in child and adolescent psychiatry, prepared himself for two weeks of misery. But now, almost three months later, he still gets those chills. He also has a cough, shortness of breath and trouble eating and swallowing.
Krakower, 40, is part of a growing group of COVID-19 patients who are suffering from its symptoms for weeks, and even months, after the standard recovery time.
