I have made a third and final video about our COVID experience where I answer 6 of the most commonly asked questions about our experience: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMB9orh607LNpY0.html

It frustrates me when people say, “Oh you see you had mild symptoms so why is everybody making such a big deal?” I know for a fact that it is a big deal. My mother was just diagnosed with Covid recently and I’ve been in the house taking care of her. I tested negative but had to take care of her and my kids and this has been rough on us all! This is a very big deal because she’s 70 and even though her symptoms weren’t very severe, she still has suffered and it was horrible, she said she though she was going to die! Imagine how that would feel 🤦🏻‍♀️ This virus is horrible and I pray no one has to endure what we have recently. Prayers to everyone out there and hope your smell & taste comes back soon. There are so many people that are called “ long haulers” that still haven’t gotten their senses back or still have chronic fatigue and they had mild cases as well it’s a fact I am it’s scary 😟 😢

Everyone is upset bc u made a video over mild symptoms. I am thankful bc my symptoms have been almost 100 percent like yours day by day and I wanted to see others with mild cases. I hope and pray I don’t take a turn for the worse, I keep expecting to wake up worse then the day before but GOD has been shining on me. Interested to know when U get ur taste and smell back and how u feel now. Thank you

Thank you for sharing these! SO many of the KZfaq videos are just click bait, thank you for the realistic, detailed but not dramatized (the number of thumbnails with some lady smiling with an at-home “breathing treatment” was astounding 🙄) I am on day 5 of symptoms, tested positive on day 1 so far they have been mild for me as well (30 and otherwise healthy-ish). But knowing that this isn’t always the case, that you never know who may have an underlying condition, that this spreads very quickly and the medical world needs us to stand with them and not overwhelm the system is absolutely 1000% why people should be taking it seriously. I appreciate you acknowledging that too! Will be following along on your journey. Best wishes

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your COVID experience. I do get frustrated when, as you mentioned people want to downplay the concern or fuss over the virus. For me the biggest thing is that you are SO contagious before you even know you are positive and will be passing it to everyone. I'm happy to hear that you both were taking all the right precautions and sorry that you got sick anyway.

Great information, I’m really glad you guys are feeling better without a need for medical intervention. I’m in Indiana and 20 years older than the two of you so I really enjoyed your informative videos. I’ve managed to stay away from Covid thus far so thank you for being responsible people when you were quarantined. God bless.

I’m glad you are feeling better and I love your comments regarding COVID vs flu at the end! Wishing you and your husband well as you continue getting well!

Tu for sharing your journey. People need to realize that the amount of virus you intake matters. Each persons immune system is different & handles viruses differently too. Age & overall health matter. Keep getting better. God bless!

I am very glad you acknowledged that although most people get mildly Ill, but for some people it is fatal. And for sharing the fact that hospital capacity issues are a big deal. Extremely responsible and I thank you that! Thank you very much for sharing your Covid journey. God bless and feel better soon!

So glad to someone being responsible to this. You truly care about others. My coworker lost a brother in law two weeks ago. 39 years old. He was a father to two children. Heartbreaking. So very nice to see your videos.

Just happened upon your video. I appreciate everything you have to say. Well done! My daughter is 31, single and got COVID around Thanksgiving. Not sure where she contracted it. None of her friends have it or have gotten sick since she came down with it. She has always worked from home and is extremely responsible. She started out on the first day with aches and pains in her legs and she just chalked it up to not exercising enough. She had recently moved from Brooklyn NY where she was fine, to a new major city and hasn't gotten into an exercise routine again. Then on the second day of feeling achy, she must have had a slight fever because she said she sweated alot that night. Next day she had lost her sense of smell and some sense of taste. That is when she realized she must have COVID and went for a Rapid test which proved positive. She was congested as well. She did not mention any headaches but she just might not have told me! She stayed the same with the sense of smell for a few days. Then it came back 50 percent and the last I talked to her she said 70 percent. She has always used Emergen C or another type of Immunity booster as well as extra Vitamin D. Luckily she has friends that were able to get her whatever groceries she needed as well. She just went this past Wednesday for another Rapid test and tested Negative. She is going for a PCR test and an Antibody test next week. We all have different immune systems and all react differently. It is very scary to a lot of people who have compromised immune systems. I hope you and your husband recover fully from this.

Thank you for caring about other people and staying home. I wish everyone was like you!🙏🏻🤗

Hi. I have covid now. I'm so glad to find your videos. Its helping me so much to deal with this. Today I'm feeling good.

I honestly do not understand why people think its no big deal just because some people are not having severe symptoms... we need to pray for recovery of all with covid, and pray for those who think its no big deal..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

You are definitely a trooper. I'm so sorry you and your husband have to struggle with this. I pray y'all recover completely.

Thanks for the info, this virus really scares me. I am high risk along with my husband. Was so glad to see you guys were doing everything right. I really don't understand people that think is a hoax or just like the flue or a cold, thanks for telling them like it is.

I appreciate you talking to the fact that symptoms can be minor but we need to be careful because of how bad things can be.

From the land down under, best wishes to you and your husband for a speedy recovery. Hopefully other people, who view your updates, understand that each individual develop different symptoms but mostly importantly you’re setting an example by quarantining yourselves so you don’t spread the virus to others. Good on you and Jacob! I’m so thankful that there are still decent people in the US who think this pandemic is not just made up.

You make a very good point about how different the symtoms can be. That is the very reason everyone needs to take care, this virus is super unpredictable and it has even caused serious side effects for healthy people. Thanks for sharing and for being so responsible ❤

It was nice to hear from someone who did not have severe symptoms not saying it was no biggie. I’ve watched a few who said I don’t know what all the fuss is about, it’s barely more than a cold. They seem to miss the point that they were lucky. If they look at the death toll they should realize they were more fortunate than many people and that the medical profession is starting to wear thin from their efforts to save lives. Thank you for pointing out the reasons to still try to prevent the spread. May you both make a complete recovery soon.

nice video and you handled a touchy subject very well. thanks for your covid story

Hi Amber-Im so glad I came across your videos. Ive been lucky so far and havent gotten Covid until now. I started having symptoms on Wed, home test was neg put rapid test at the pharmacy was Positive. My worst symptoms have been a high fever and cough. Your videos give me insight to what I can expect. Hope you and your family are still healthy and doing great!

HAPPY TO SEE U LOOKING HEALTHIER! HANG IN THERE, SUPER TROOPER!!

Thanks for your video.it’s a great corrective to some of the stories we get in the UK about irresponsible behaviour in the US. Hope you fully recover soon

Thank you for not downplaying the possible severity. Lots of times folks may be totally unaware that they have an underlying issue like diabetes and Covid can come along and knock a seemingly healthy person on their ass.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It brings it home for me a little more each time I see someone share that way. And I don't know about anyone else, but I've never lost my sense of smell from having a cold or the flu (the couple times I've had it in my life), if I had something that felt like a cold or the flu and I also couldn't smell or taste anything, that right there would freak me out. Besides that, it seems that people experience Covid as being a disease that is out to attack, and that it just sucks the life out of you. I would want to take really easy and not make sure anyone else around me caught it.

I have watched your earlier video! Loved your content and subscribed!Thank you for your update on your disease! I wish you and your husband fast recovery and good health! Take care and stay safe! ♥️♥️

Glad you posted your daily symptoms. This is valuable information. Unfortunately there’s a percentage of the population that either don’t care or don’t take it seriously UNTIL it hits them or their family. With over 14 million reported cases and over 280,000 deaths in the U.S. it’s hard to imagine that there are people that ignore the hard data. Anyway, I hope you and your husband have a full recovery soon. Thank you.

I stumbled across your very clear and non-political video of the first signs and symptoms. I have auto immune diseases, i am 62 of age and i live on Vancouver Island Canada. We remained almost Covid free until autumn and now most of our island is also effected. It is very contagious as you know, also it is mentally draining remaining isolated, but i must, i, like many have little choice. I wanted to express how important it is during such a crisis for good clear information, common sense, and the respect to others. Wear a mask everyone, all over the world, please and thankyou from a small corner

Thank you for sharing. I have been quarantining for 6 days now and have all the symptoms you shared having. Still waiting on results. Although the fatigue is bad, the loss of smell and taste has been by far the most disturbing thing to go through. Headaches and fatigue have been rough too.

Thank you for explaining the difference between a severe cov19 reaction vs. mild cov19 symptoms.

Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. We all have to be aware. Be safe everyone and mask up

Thank you Amber for sharing Jacob and your experiences. Feel better soon.

You got two great doggies there to help get you through this.

Thank you for your videos and for opening up to the world. People still don't get that we are all very different people. Our DNA is different, and our genetics. What may be mild for most could kill someone else. I'm a Registered Nurse, I am at risk for exposure every day. I also have two preexisting conditions. So if I get it, I can only pray for a mild case. And even if it is mild, it could still do me more harm than most. Thanks again for your sharing. I pray for your speedy recovery and for your sense of smell and taste to return to you soon.

Omg I got covid last Monday, tested Tuesday & found out I had it on Christmas. I lost my taste Thursday & still can’t taste nor smell. So frustrating, but I have hope! Wishing the best of luck with your recovery!

I'm so glad your addressing this people who dont understand covid. My nephew 24yrs old died two weeks ago from it. So God bless you and your husband . Or good vibes and well wishes if you prefer. We are numbers including you thank you for sharing. .

Loved the daily updates, and was so great to see you smiling while sharing your BO dream 😀

Thank you for also clarifying that NOT everyone’s symptoms are as mild. This virus spreads really quick and before you even realize you have it.

Thank you so much for sharing your personal story with us. So far I'm well but I'm keeping an eye on my adult daughter. We will most likely do testing soon. I hope you and your husband recover fully very soon. Hi from Connecticut ;)

the last 2 minutes of this video are perfect. 11/10 explanation

You’ve had such an interesting year with school/tests, wedding venue/wedding, Posh & now this. Glad your symptoms weren’t worse.

Speedy recovery to you and your husband!

Feel better soon. Thank you for sharing your experience regarding Covid. Hope your husband is also on the mend!

Wow you sure do have a good video presences! Hope you and your hubby get well soon! Thank you!

Amber, thank you for these videos. I am on day 9 of COVID and finally feel good again. I am 53 and do have 1 underlying condition that could have impacted my recovery. I watched all of your COVID vids as well as numerous other vids from folks going through the same thing. Those vids helped me tremendously, especially in the early days, when I did not know what I was looking at and whether I was going to recover or not. I am glad that you and your husband are doing well and got past this. Thanks again.

Thanks for the video, the COVID dream was hilarious! So glad your symptoms are mild & thanks for the PSA because it's a death sentence for some folks! It's raging in my county here in Ohio! UGH! Looking forward to the next video when hopefully you get your sense of taste back!

Your doggies are sooo cute and sweet!!!! This vlog has made me feel so much better (mentally) about my covid diagnosis. Please consider doing more vlogs because your voice and attitude is so chill and calming to me!

Hi hun, just thought I would add im so great full your ok n yes it is dangerous my hubby lost a coworker. One of mine tested positive today and I was painting by him on weds. Last week, getting hit n cold chills today n no appetite, so praying I don't come down. 🙋‍♀️

Well done and clearly stated of how important it is to of take covid-19 seriously.

Thank you for sharing ♥️🙏🏼 hope you and your husband are feeling all better now 🙂

Thank you so much I'm on day 3 with mild symptoms so far I am 45 with pre existing conditions so fingers crossed

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Great videos - informative and articulate - thank-you!

Amber Alpine Thanks for the video ,i got covid too last week and your video really helps to know whats going on when we actually got this disease.Well done

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thank you for sharing your experience... very helpful

Amber I am so sorry you got Covid. I know several who got it and it really does affect everyone differently. My niece got checked as a precaution because her son had it. She had no symptoms but was positive. My best friend had an ear ache and they tested her and it was positive. Another acquaintance sadly passed away from it. It's a scary virus! I am glad you and Jacob didn't get a bad case of it.

Your a very mature young lady . I think that you explained it so well . Why it is a so important because people's outcomes can be so different also the intensive care hospital beds are filling up right now all over and in Massachusetts the North East part of the state the intensive care is at 100 percent capacity , other states are the same way . I hope you get better soon and your follow up test comes back negative .

You’re young and probably in fairly good health it seems so hopefully it isn’t as bad for you . I myself have a lot of underlying issues so I most likely won’t be as well as you . Thank you for sharing this with us sweetie .

Thank you for sharing your experience

This is so helpful! So are the comments! Thank you very much!

Hi Amber, I'm soooo glad that you and your husband are doing well comparatively speaking ... hopefully you get your taste back soon and you both get back to 100% shortly! :) My prediction is that your channel will grow exponentially just because of your warm and down to earth personality. As for those people who scoff at the "fake" virus ... there's a lot of ignorance in the world and the problem is a lot of them influence others. Imagine telling a relative of one of the almost 300 THOUSAND people who have DIED in your country (I'm Canadian) "what's the big fuss?" Keep on keeping on girl .... I wish you and your husband all the best going forward with life and I predict your channel will top 2,000 subs by Christmas! (just subscribed)

Thanks for all the info. I am glad you guys are doing okay. I have high risk family members, so we are doing everything possible to avoid getting it. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thanks for this. I started sxs today but haven’t been tested yet. Glad you’re feeling better

I hope your ok. I really appreciate you doing this and am enjoying ur sense of humor!! I hope u keep posting. I jst tried to find u on tiktok but I can’t find ya lol. I really hope your doing ok!!!

Thank you for sharing. I am currently on day 7 with covid and have had a very similar experience to yourself. No fever, no cough but loss of taste and smell. Today I've been feeling anxious about what may lie ahead and you've really helped me to relax a bit. Thank you

I’m glad I came across this as it was very informative. Where I live (England) right now it’s the Omicron strain that’s mostly doing the rounds and I’m on day 7 of Covid and have the symptoms for omicron but the symptoms I have are exactly just like you had except I haven’t lost my sense of smell or taste. Just feeling really wiped out and tired with a sore throat and stuffy

Even asymptomatics can have lung and heart damage. Thailand recommends wide range health screenings for everyone ever infected, including asymptomatics.

We are trying so hard to not get the virus because my husband has serious health issues and I have lupus and COPD...so we are being very careful. I have had several friends die from this virus, it is real! It is so sad to me. Your home is so pretty on a positive note! I love this channel!

Hope you get well soon Amber. God blessing

glad you guys are okay, ty for sharing.

My father in law passed away from covid pneumonia 9 days ago. He would be here if not for covid.

Thank you for making the videos. And I’m glad you’re getting better day by day. Went on a search bender but turns out I binge drink too much that my immune system dropped so it was a false alarm 😂 Fever and headache got me thinking it was Covid though 😭

I was planning the same thing about quarantine. I have been looking everywhere for a video like yours and days of symptoms. I wrote down all my symptoms and days but too shy to post for peace of mind for other people, but thank you for sharing.

You have a really nice thoughtful boss!!!

Thank you so much for making these videos. This shows average level symptoms and it seems quite manageable but what a difference a few years and a couple of bad habits can make. I am a 58 year old smoker who drank more than my fair share of beer in my day. I have been hospitalized twice. The second time I was released too early from the hospital. I have no idea what they gave me but when I left the hospital, I had no idea who I was or where I lived. I walked around town as a bag of germs, likely infecting people everywhere I went. This went on for at least 3 days and nights. I was too stupid to even know to ask for help. I have been considered healthy for a few weeks now but there are effects that linger. Many days I just feel stupid. I second guess every decision and I can't stand germs. I don't go out and I don't feel like the virus is gone. When I got sick, one of the symptoms was that I felt I could smell fire, or burning metal. I still smell that quite often. I eat a lot of Chinese food and constantly clean out my fridge of old food and potential germs. There are many foods that turn me off immediately. I have lost at least 20 pounds but eventually I am going to run out of body fat to live off of. I have always been depressed. In this case I might have an advantage over other "long haulers" in that I understand depression to be a thing that just goes away from time to time. Depression is potentially a huge problem for those who don't understand how it works. The clock stops and it seems like the moments will never pass. Depressed people do stupid things with big consequences. I know these symptoms will pass and that I will get better because I have always lived with depression Others might not be so fortunate. If you know people who have fallen victim of depression as a result of covid, keep an eye on them. offer support and make sure they are going to be ok. Remember - teen suicide is almost always a knee jerk reaction to depression and it is not restricted to 12 year old little girls. Depression is a killer if left un-checked.

Amber's videos are highly watchable. I am in England, 77-year-old male, and I haven't had Covid. I was tested twice before separate hospital appointments, both negative. However, I reckon I got some strain of "pre-Covid" back in December 2019. I was staying with relatives in Germany over Christmas and suddenly I was getting night sweats. These lasted for three days. Then I started developing a sore throat just after Boxing Day and the following day I flew back to England. As I drove the 150 miles home from the airport I started a dry, tickly cough. This was all long before Covid became an issue, by the way. The cough got really bad and I took a really good cough medicine for it. But the cough lasted all throughout January 2020 until the second week of February. By then, the media were all talking about this new virus from China and in March 2020 Britain had its first lockdown. I had fully recovered by then from the cough and was symptom free. Perhaps this explains why I never was infected with Covid, as this infection I had gone through gave me immunity. Since 2020 I have had all the vaccine shots and boosters, which give me a sore arm for a few days, but that's all. After the second vaccine I did suddenly get very severe headaches which concerned my doctor to get myself along to A&E (ER in the US) because the medics were concerned about blood clots. I had all kinds of tests over seven hours, but nothing physical was found. Anyway, that's been my experience these last three years! I hope you've made a full recovery since you made your videos, and now I'm going to watch the final one where you discuss your pregnancy.

Quarantine until a negative test🙌🏾 sound like something I would 😃🙌🏾

The Great British Baking Show would put me to sleep LOL. I just got tested positive, I work in a group home all clients and most of the staff have also tested positive!

Thanks for sharing. Keep up the videos :)

Glad to see you recovered

I too watch the GBBS lol now you know what it will be like when you're old and gray and all the taste buds are gone. I know you are sick and I give you coodo's for documenting it. It's really helpful for those of us who haven't got it yet. I hope you will vlog after this too, it's nice to get to know you more :)

Thank you for sharing your experience¡¡ Im up for the test today but I already have no sense of taste nor smell so im sure ill be positive, watching your videos made me feel a little more optimistic although like you say, it is not the same for everyone. Thanks again¡

Yes, I forgot about losing taste and smell, except for a rancid odor when breathing in through nose. People who haven’t had it should be thankful and careful, not being flip about it. Sometimes people have it without knowing and can spread it without knowing. I was a. Nurse, before I became disabled wth auto-immune conditions and spinal issues. I have asthma, bronchial issues. And COPD. It could have been much worse for me, and still ended up with pneumonia later.

My experience with it, even though high risk, over 65 and T2 diabetes, was mild as yours was. I had most of the same symptoms except I never lost my taste or smell and I did have some nausea...very mild though, and no diarrhea. But for me the fatigue and general malaise lasted almost a month even though I was over most other symptoms in about a week or a little more. I do know others who have died or have been battling in and out of the hospital with ongoing multi-system failure in their body. It certainly is not to be taken lightly. I do a lot of natural things to support my immune system and take anti-viral/anti-bacterial supplements anyway, because I'm allergic to most antibiotics. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience.

I hope you make a full recovery amber x

Take care. The vaccines are coming. I hope you and your husband stay tough. I believe in you. 🙏

How funny that you dreamed that. :) You boss, family, and friends are so kind

Thank you for sharing & explaining how Covid is effecting you. I’m so glad you are having only mild symptoms & glad you emphasized that Covid is affecting other people severely. I hope you get well soon.

I’m finishing day 7. Still have a cough and sore lungs.

Hope you are feeling better!

SO FAR WHERE I LIVE EVERYONE IS AL RIGHT AT WORK! WE ALL WEAR THE MASK ALL THE TIME . GET WELL SOON! GLAD YOU DIDN'T HAVE IT THAT BAD!

I love your boss.

Look up the video by 60 mins with Anderson Cooper called ling haulers. There is very impressive medical info you guys should know. Stay safe. Thank you again for sharing and doing all you can do not to spread it you Rock!🌹🙏😇💯✔👏

You and Jacob are very fortunate you did not have to go to hospital. The hospital workers are exhausted and badly need relief.

It's so facinating that not everyone reacts the same..

This is my second round of it. I had it in April/May. Lasted 6 weeks and then I had Long Covid for another 5 months. That particular time my symptoms were very lung based: chest pain, severe breathlessness. This time quite different. Almost identical to everything you described. The lack of taste is just the weirdest thing isnt it!! Glad you're feeling better. I'm on day 8 and still pretty washed out.

I have family members and friends that have had covid with different severities and symptoms the common symptom they all had was extreme fatigue. Our Grandson was the youngest out of the 5 people he is 20 and was very ill...the others say it’s the sickest they have ever been but have all recovered and are doing fine now.

Tested positive day after thanksgiving. The pains i experienced in my Rtd arm and my back almost immediately with a low grade fever scared me. I took emergen-C 2 VITAMIN C VITAMIN D NAC Tylenol and zycam. Each day was an adventure with excruciating headache , nosebleed, muscle and body aches, back pain horrible , fatigue , nausea and diarrhea. On day 12 i got a fever 103.5 . I got it down and the next days started feeling better. I’m 57 and in great shape . Now I’m coughing but that’s it. My husband same but less extensive than me he’s 63
