I know of no one personally. Just curious about how sick you get.

I think I had it back in March. Almost short of breath. Stiff. Very tired. Not much phlegm. From late February into March about 20% of my co-workers, small company, had it. The others didn't.

The worst part was overcoming the brown bottle flu after being quarantined for so long and not having to be anywhere responsible at 10 am.

My wife and myself got it. She came back from Mt Rushmore on the 4th with it, then gave it to me a week later. Knocked us down big time. We were able to get her a prescription of dexamethasone from our telehealth plan and she was better in 3 days. A week later I had been in bed for 4 days and I was able to get a prescription for the hydroxychloroquine regimen from my supplement doctor. 36 hours later I was back to normal, just weak. Our local doctor had told us to just go home and wait it out - if it gets bad enough, go to the hospital. That practice was owned by the hospital so go figure.

The brother-in-law of a guy that lives down the street from a friend of mine got it. Supposedly.

I think more people have had it than have been confirmed.... waaay more. And that's not a bad thing. The thing is, the virus is not that bad at all. It seems to only really be threatening to elderly immune compromised people and / or really really (really) overweight people. I know that's not everyone who dies from it, but it's almost everyone.

I have a cousin in law (I guess I'd call it that) who is with covid patient in our area. She tells me that nearly all of them are either 400+ lbs or on meth... (the last part seems odd but I do believe her... no reason for her to make that up).

400 lbs on meth = going nowhere really fast.

I had similar symptoms around the same time. I usually kick colds or Illness very fast. Just had a stupid cough at night and felt too weak to go on runs. Took a month to get over

I had trouble breathing for several days. I decided to go to my doc if it didn't go away, but it did. Getting "walking pneumonia" was much worse. Incidentally that was the only time I've been in ER and they've asked me to wear a facial mask - this was way before COVID.

My wife’s sister apparently got it - barely had cold like symptoms for a day and was back to normal.

yep....

millions and millions and millions of people have had it. I'd bet anything.

My company has about 1500 employees, and 5 have tested positive. They all took a couple weeks off, at most, and came back to work.I don't know anyone else who has "had" it.

A guy at my work had it about a month ago (confirmed by testing, as accurate as those are). He said he was down for a couple of days, like a real bad flu, but then felt fine. Came back to work a couple weeks later.

I have a positive antibody test, whatever that's worth, that I was required to get because of my wife's employment.

I may had bad allergies or a minor cold in May. I barely remember it.

I've had at least 10 coworkers that have tested positive (out of 450). No one died, I think everyone is back to work now. I took an antibody test back in June to verify what I had in February either was or wasn't. It came back clear.
