    I had it once, week or so long, mild cold/flu like symptoms and dead ass tired. Sore eyeballs was an odd symptom I experienced. I was working outdoors in ND by myself in the dead of winter throughout the illness and I imagine I prolonged it by doing so.
    Daughter had it, no symptoms. Most everyone I know has had it with varying degrees of severity, mostly mild but some pretty nasty. Nobody I know succumbed to it.
    We did not receive any Covid vaccines or boosters.

    Had it last March after dodging it for three years. Vaxxed and four boosters, but I was still pretty sick for about ten days. I think the vaccines kept my ass out of the hospital.

    Call me mellow yellow, quite rightly.

    I had it twice...test confirmed. Not that I trust those tests, but the illness did feel different because I did not get the fever/body aches of the flu or any cold like symptoms.

    First time: I couldn't do my weight training work outs for 5 days. Second time, I felt off for a day and it went away. It was a mild lethargy, didn't knock me out of commission, just couldn't do anything intense.

    I've not had a single clot shot.

    Had it once last summer, woke up and felt light headed but it was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. Took the test and it fired up a positive right away. Didn't really feel much other than a cold and had a cough that wouldn't go away for a couple of months until I strained an oblique pretty bad and it hurt to move the torso, amazingly the cough went away really quickly (the body is an amazing thing). Wife's had it once that we know of (pretty sure she had it in January of 2020, she couldn't walk up the stairs in our house without being exhausted) and she got hit a little worse but not much. Both of us work in schools so vaxed and booster x2. Really hoping these reports of another shutdown coming soon are just wild conspiracies. I still find it hilarious that they peddle the March 2020 stuff when I had a cousin that had every symptom of it in early December of 2019.

    I find it amusing how many people still stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the science.

    Which “THE SCIENCE” are you referring to? It has evolved constantly since 2019 and continues to do so. Was there a certain year you liked best? I thought the 2020 science was the most exciting personally.

    I Ubered a girl a couple years ago who had been homeless during Fall of 2019 and posited that COVID ravaged the unhoused community during that timeframe, but nobody in the mainstream knew about it (or cared).

    Science evolves. That's the whole point.

    Science is not always right. But the most current agreed upon scientific stance is far more often the correct course of action than any alternative recommendation.

    IMO questioning the trustworthiness of certified expertise is among the biggest problems with our country, and one of the biggest tools the elites use to rob quality of life from the average person.

    There was a horrible flu going around at that time. I knew dozens of people who had it, and tested positive for it at hospitals. Like half of the players in our basketball program. They were as sick as they've ever been for a solid week or more.

    I think virtually everyone who thinks they had covid before it was actually confirmed to be here likely had this flu.

    Honestly, I think this helped lend legs to the "it's just the flu" rumor...

    Yep, that's why I got the shots. I don't know how you can dismiss this data. I'm guessing they think it's fake data something...

    Got it in the Dominican Republic and had to send my pregnant wife home on a flight with our 1 year old while I stayed and recovered.

    Got it again 11 months later.

    Tripe vaccinated, had no symptoms the first time and sick one day then fine the second time.

    Suspected me and my wife may have got it in San Diego in February 2020 as she had this odd cough that lasted a super long time. Didn't really think of it possibly being COVID until many months later.

    Well, you should really be doing that more often.

    Regular ubering is important for a number of reasons, and the girls like it too.

    The cousin had every symptom of early COVID-19, including losing all sense of taste and smell ... that shit was here whether people want to admit it or not.

    That can happen with the flu as well. Pretty much every symptom of COVID can present as a result of the flu.
