how did covid differ from the flu? i’m having a hard time believing covid even exists at this point.

It's real in the sense that it was engineered by China, and can have some different symptoms for some, but generaly speaking yeah, it's no different than the SARS, Bird Flu, Swine Flu, etc... scares. Worst case senario if we did absolutely nothing to combat it, it would be an ever so slightly more deadly Flu.

yup, and after a year, if someone hasnt gotten infected symptoms or not, mask or not, they have been on a deserted island. time to open up and throw out the bacteria rags. i had it a year ago for a week, a lower respiratory phlegm and cough, very different than any other flu or cold but still mild for me(probably at least patially because my immune system hasnt been wrecked by seasonal flu shots). also a lot of psychosomatic illnesses caused by media fed hypochondria.

Yep. Amazing how the regular seasonal flu and the common cold seemed to have gone AWOL this year. Hmm.....

My healthy, athletic 30-year-old sister had it... it’s no joke. She had a 102 fever for 10 days. This was months ago, and she’s going back to the doctor for lingering chest pains. I think the virus is overblown overall but it’s very serious for some people. Look up what blood types get it the worst and it all makes sense.

I think the heart is inflamed for awhile afterwards, perhaps even chronically. A close friend had it in November/December, and her resting heart rate has been unusually high since. She is in some groups on Fakebook, and other people who have had it are reporting issues with their hearts.

A lot of people have dormant borrelia burgdorferi in their bodies (Lyme, and co-infections, because it’s spread via intercourse), and then any flu virus you get can wake up the Lyme, Babesia, EBV, and Bartonella. Then you get misdiagnosed with “chronic fatigue.”

I can verify. I had both the original Covid a year ago and then the/a milder mutant strain November. I survived Covid but felt unusual pains in chest (not from coughing). Felt like low oxygen but no direct reading of that. EKG showed odd waveform change. But uncertain direct cause - could have been muscle or nerve damage or even clot; I went on a blood thinner but it had no effect. I have recovered now but it was a real mystery what was going on.

For me, felt like the flu for two days. Achy, felt like had fever but no fever. Never any respiratory symptoms but for slightly runny nose. Day three started feeling better, fine after 7. Lost some taste and smell. Otherwise healthy early fifties, workout every day.
