I put maybe only because I didn't get tested. My wife tested positive and I had the exact same symptoms, two days delayed behind her.

Mine was basically a sinus infection. Nagging cough lingered for six weeks. Lost a majority of my sense of smell, but not taste, for about 10 weeks.

I had some flu like symptoms for a couple of days, about a week after everything was getting cancelled. So that was probably it, but they weren't testing so I don't know. It was pretty tame compared to other flus that I've had.

I had it last December.  My son and wife came down with it and got tested, since their jobs required it.  I didn't get tested since we could be pretty sure I had it, too.  Felt similar to having the flu, until I got an atrial fibrillation and ended up spending Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in the hospital.  Obviously, I got tested there.

I had atrial flutter, which was awful.  I got cured which was wonderful.  (Catheter abalation)

I tested +. I was a bit frightened. I sent office staff home. I worked. As I was quarantining, somedays I slept in on the sofa, fearful that if I stood up, I would have a headache and feel sick. I had no symptoms, other than fear.
One of our former neighbors was 90-years old in the rest home got it. The rest home had an outbreak with lots of death. We visited her through the window when we found out she had it. She had no symptoms. It was dusk when we stopped. Someone nearby had the curtains open who was obviously struggling. 
Don't take chances.

My son clearly had it March/April 2020.  I'm pretty sure I never had it.  Had a bad cold Jan 2020.

Please get tested, so you know your status.

Are you vaccinated? Don't answer if that's too personal. No worries.



I did end up going and getting tested and the results were positive for a Covid infection. I ended up missing about a week of work. Never really got terribly sick, just achy and slept a lot. My wife also tested positive a couple of days later, so we just stayed at home for 2 weeks and avoided contact with everyone. A few people came by and dropped off some meals for us which was greatly appreciated. We made out a grocery list and our daughter went to the store for us a couple of times so that we didn't starve to death (although with me that would take some time).

Now that both of us have recovered there is no need to get the vaccine so we are both moving on without it. 

Yes Covid was a bit rough, but I've literally had a much worse experience with the flu. But wife and I am also under 60, relatively healthy with the only underlying medical condition is that I have  slightly diminished kidney function. So for us, it was more of an inconvenience than anything.

Everyone is different. I never lost taste/smell, for example. Most people don't. But, it's a symptom.
I've lost my sense of smell, but it kind of comes and goes. My youngest daughter came home one day last week with her new kitten. After she left I went up to her old room and could smell cat urine. The damn thing pissed in a laundry basket with a couple of old blankets in it, just a foot from the litter box that my daughter had brought with her. She has been advised to not bring that damn cat home again.

Cat urine is hard to miss.  My sense of smell is attenuated by my previous profession.

The wife smells things frequently I don't, often it's me.

Still haven't had a positive test, although I had a flu of some sort in early Sep.  I tested negative, but I've anecdotally heard of ppl testing negative multiple times before testing positive with the same illness.  I would guess you may be more likely to get a false negative if you are vaccinated.

On the plus side, it was on something that was about to be washed anyway?
