To be clear, I don't think Covid itself is a hoax. My parents got it last month. My step-dad, who is 73 and had heart surgery some years ago, said it was definitely not the same as a normal flu. His chest never felt so congested in his life, and he was coughing up stuff that tasted "like something dead." (Yes, he was tested, and yes, tested positive.) He was exhausted for 4 days or so.
But the hospital gave him NO medicine, just sent him home and told him to quarantine. He just treated it with Theraflu and Vix.
My mom didn't bother getting tested, we figured she must have gotten it. She had sniffles and lost her sense of smell for a week, and was tired, but was otherwise fine.
I didn't bother getting tested as I had no symptoms, but I was around them both every day for 5 days while they were symptomatic but before the test. Ate with them, hugged them, rode in the car with them, etc. Nothing.

We're all fine now.
Top priority. Glad you are all fine now. 😁
I know, right?
