Wife and I (in our 30s) had deep burning lungs for 6 weeks in March. No temps or loss of taste/smell. I also had sensitive gums/teeth for a couple weeks. Neither of us had head aches and were not any more achy then during a normal cold. She had the Rona toes and to this day, a couple are still a bit purple in color and itch at times (like athletes foot). Kids (4 and 2 at time) had very low grade fevers for maybe a week, but no other symptoms. Got tested for flu and some other stuff at the time...all negative. No Rona test administered at the time due to availability.
So far, none of us seem to of had a second infection."We had nice 3 days in your autonomous mountain realm last weekend." - Tom from Austria (the Rax ski guy)

Both me and my fiancée caught it. She was completely asymptomatic, while I only had mild effects like loss of taste and some congestion.
Getting my official "recovered" letter today, which is an odd feeling when you don't really feel like you've had it...

I got it flying back to SoCal from Denver in September. Tested positive a few days after my return and hadn't left the house in the interim. My gf in Denver didn't get sick so I'm pretty sure it was the flight or uber from the airport. People were superficially wearing masks on the flight and the middle seats were empty - but since this is America passengers were also pulling their masks down to their chin while they ate a 3rd bag of chips.
I had the low fever and brutal headaches and fatigue that came in waves for about 2 weeks. Loss of smell and taste. Missed a bunch of work and even when I went back (remotely) I found that I'd make it through half a day and then crash, sometimes until the next morning. Took a test 2+ weeks after the symptoms were completely gone and surprisingly that came back positive too. I've since tested negative and seem to be fully recovered thankfully.
When you get it and start digging in to the potential long term effects it gets scary even if you don't have a comorbidity/demographic profile that points to increased chance of hospitalization/death. Chronic heart or lung issues or even brain damage. Fuck that shit.Last edited by HellgateBasement; 11-18-2020 at 04:20 PM.

I think I had it in March. Kid goes to preschool with a jazz player kid, and a bunch of jazz players came down with it. A few days later my 4yo girl (same class) came down with a mild cold for a few days, and then I got the worst cold I've had in years. I missed like 5 days of work, and was sick for like 8 days. Lethargic, fatigue, aches, fever, dry cough. It sucked. Didn't leave the bedroom for 2 days solid. Some time later we found out that one of the preschool teachers at the school came down with covid about the same time. I never got tested.

We had a scare 2 weeks ago. Wife and I took my son and my FIL (82) to FIL's Dr appointment on a Tuesday. The next day my son got a call from a friend they had dinner with at their house, his friends test positive and are showing moderate symptoms. I couldn't get in for a test for over a week. My son and his girlfriend were able to get a test by that Friday. Took 1 week for results. It felt like being in Purgatory, I had to cancel a bunch of business plans. I've been cautious, but not paranoid about this virus, but now it has me being a little more wary of interacting with other outside of our small pod until a vaccine is out. This may be the first flu vaccine I've ever had in my life. Until this scare, I had no intention of getting the vaccine

I think we need to stipulate positive diagnosis here. I am certainly sympathetic to those who think they may have had it ( I include myself in this group), but in all fairness to those who got (are still being) hammered with positive diagnosis ..... this is their thread.

My parents had it, entire sisters family had it, their 2year old daughter sneezed and snotted all over my face and my pregnant wifes face just as she was getting sick in March when we figured no way they had COVID and somehow the wife and I didn't get sick. My dads 70yo but in good shape, works out daily, and was short of breath just walking to the car for 6 months, still has a lingering cough. Sisters family healed up super quick just as if any other virus.
