If you are in your mid to late thirties and had coronavirus how badly did it affect you?

Just curious, everyone I know in this range has had it mildly apart from one.
I don’t think I’ve had it, unless it was extremely mild.

As we are in an age group that’s statistically not supposed to be at high risk of getting very ill I wondered if anecdotally this is the case here too?

I know one person who had it in their 30s, no symptoms (only found out they had had it through antibody test).

OP, I think you’re better sticking with the statistics. Even though there have been very few deaths in people in their 30s with no underlying conditions, lots of people on MN seem to know super healthy marathon runners in that age bracket who died from it. Perhaps they all know the same few, but still, better to stick with the stats.

Don't forget you will mostly get replies from people who had symptoms, the 30% of people with no symptoms at all probably don't know they had it.

Had it in November I had a headache and lost sense of smell for 5 days. That’s it. I know of other friends in their 30s who were the same.

I was worried about it being like the flu which I had a few years ago, and that was awful, but I wouldn’t have even know I even had COVID really if it wasn’t for watching out for losing my sense of smell.

I know of several who had it relatively mildly (in bed for a week or so with flu like symptoms), unpleasant but not life threatening.

I know about three who think they had it because others around them did, or know that they did from antibody tests, but few if any symptoms.

I know of two (friends of friends) who were seriously ill, one who died.

I know of three (friends of friends) who have some degree of long covid (one a healthy medical student who is no longer able to continue her course for the moment ,absolutely nothing that would have made her suspect she'd be hard hit by it).

The problem is that it's like roulette you have no idea how hard it's going to hit you.

I'm on day 10 I'm 34 and have mild asthma (not needed my inhaler for nearly 2 years). So far I have managed at home just but have had paramedics out as well as 4 referrals to G docs.
I have been on steroids, had burning lungs, headache, a fever for 10 days, aches, burning eyes, fatigue and pain in my kidneys and legs. My oxygen levels have at times dropped to 91-93, I'm usually fit and healthy.

My DH is 33 and had a head cold that's it.
I never expected to get a moderate case my asthma is so incredibly mild.
I don't know if I will end up with long covid or not I know I'm now at greater chances due to the time and number of symptoms.

There was zero way of me avoiding covid it came from asystomatic case in my sons nursery (he has had zero symptoms). It's a very random illness which is unpredictable I would say to others avoid if you can and I will be getting a vaccination when I can so I don't risk going through this in the future.
