Has anyone had COVID-19 on here?

[LifeMatters]

Did you have COVID-19? Or do you know someone who has/had the virus?

I don't know anyone to have had it and I just want to see if people on here had it and what is it like really?

Had it, was easy. I have had worse colds.

I'm 40, overweight, asthmatic and it lasted about 10 days and all I had was a minor temp for a few hours, wicked sore throat and the need to sleep. I once managed 14 hours of sleep, which as a chronic insomniac was bloody amazing

I still managed to work from home, just a shame I had it over xmas.

Me and DH had it over Christmas. He didnt get a test as he just thought he had a bit of a cold, he just had a sniffy nose for a few days. About 4 days later, I lost my smell and taste completely so I ordered a test which came back positive. Then I had a bad headache which lasted a few weeks and was extra tired.

I know this is a zombie thread but if I'd read this when it was posted I would have said no. Since September I know personally around 30 people who have had it including my partner. One friend had it quite badly. She died. One has long covid. The rest were a mix of 'it was ok' to 'I thought I was dying' I wonder how the OP fared...

I had it last month as did my DP and DS. It was so, so mild for us thankfully. People say this alot but we really have had worse colds. I also know absolutely loads of people who have had it, probably more than 50. All mild cases. I only know one person hospitalised. My friends dad in his 70s with COPD. He died unfortunately.

Covid free zone here.
I know more people that had really bad vax side effects than had covid
