I'm pretty sure my family and I had it on the 17th of last month. Overall it took over two weeks for everyone to get back to good health.

At first I had what felt like a slight sore throat lower down near my collar bone/upper sternum area. That lasted a few days until I suddenly crashed with a very high fever (102-104). I went from pretty much normal (besides the throat thing) to on the floor in a matter of hours.

I slept/was bed ridden for over nearly 48 hours and didn't eat for over 24 hours. I had to force my self to eat, because I knew it was the only way I would recover. I had a terrible dry cough (former smoker) that wouldn't stop. If I wasn't sleeping I was coughing. I coughed so much my abdominal muscles hurt for days after.

My wife and kids were ill too, with my wife having a 104 temperature and kids in the high 90s low 100s.

I felt tired/down for nearly two weeks after. We self-isolated for nearly a month (I work from home) and I have not been tested, because I don't like getting authorities involved unless there’s a really good reason to.
