I've had it this week. I'm still testing positive on day 6, But I feel fine now. But for about 36 hours, I have never felt sicker in my entire life. I talked to three neighbors who also had it recently, they said the exact same thing. 36 hours of pure hell and then a quick recovery.

The cough was the easiest part. The fever, the chills, and the body aches mixed with the fatigue, except that I couldn't fall asleep because every inch of my skin hurts so much, was the worst part

I don't believe so.  For our next door neighbor definitely not.  My cousin has got it three times and said each time felt completely different

My first time was as you described, but I have had worse in my lifetime. Pneumonia comes to mind, and a couple of bad flu infections.

The second time was Delta, and was extremely mild. I would have not known if not for travel. Third time was a piece of cake, and only tested for travel. Fourth time I was tired.

I do miss travel during Covid. It was nice to have a whole row to yourself on the planes.

I dont have any of the bad symptoms mentioned earlier so I just dont know

I certainly dont feel the sickest Ive ever felt in my life

That would be back in my youth and involve a bottle of white port wine

but the thing is whatever I have is not normal so I thought Id mention it
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Yeah the previous time was due to travel, and the home test came back faint, and the PCR test I got the next day was negative. I thought it was just bad allergies, which is why I didn't even test, and I'm guessing my test caught it right on the back end. That was not the case the second time.

I have three kids and my wife is a teacher, so the other four members of my household go off each day to three separate school buildings. The kids activities have been full blast massless for over a year now, so I'd actually be shocked if this was just my second infection.

In the past year we've been to the Smokies. We've been to the beach, we've been to Florida. Unless you live in a bubble you're going to get it.  And even then you might

I still have not had it, that I know of.  My wife had it in Denmark except she wouldn't have known she was sick had she not been tested.  Folks we know who had it recently had very mild symptoms.

I noticed a handful of folks out and about on our trip wearing masks, often very distant from anyone else.  One guy had a full beard and his mask was about an inch from his face, I sort of chuckled, and he was well away from anyone.

One shop requested folks wear masks, one out of 100 or so.

Quite a few people up "here" are still masking. More so in Illinois than Wisconsin though.

Folks wearing masks were pretty rare on our trip, but some few were, fairly often off by themselves.

I assume the folks still wearing masks, especially away from others, have secretly wanted to wear masks long before the COVID

this just gives them the excuse to not look especially paranoid
