It's more than the sniffles for some people. When I had covid both times, I had to cough so much that it made my coughing muscles in my chest sore. Also had fever of at least 100.2 and was tired and achy. I was sick with it for 4 days. It's not an illness I want again.
Are you vaccinated?
It was exactly like the flu for me. Sore throat, cough, fever, body aches. Not fun but also not that big of a deal.
In Britain, Ireland, Israel, Portugal, etc - the majority are the 'vaccinated'. They like to call it 'long Covid' or 'SADS', or 'normal, this always happens when over a thousand athletes collapse on the field in a single year', or kids having heart attacks in higher numbers - I'm sure the resident pretend doctor/virologist will be on here shortly to tell us all that what big pharma says is the truth - no conflict of interest with anything they say.
Now, 2 years later, after businesses were destroyed, kids were harmed, a rise in child abuse and domestic abuse, suicides, people being refused care for non Covid issues, people dead because no early treatment allowed, hospitals getting chunks of money for every declared "Covid death" (true or not)....NOW they want to say, we need to live our lives without all this misplaced fear.

What variant(s) did you catch? I don't think the latest variants will cause those severe symptoms.
Those government test kits are garbage, I've had omicron for 3 days; and 2 negatives.
This is the first time I've had it, barring Sars1 20 years ago; one county south of you.
Honestly, the symptoms haven't really changed in 2 decades; sore throat, a bit of congestion, low fever, achy and tired.
When I had a sore throat early June, I tested neg twice with at home tests. It didn't feel like the covid I had in 2020 so I went to doc for a strep test and was surprised when he said negative on strep, positive on covid. After a few days of sore throat it was like a mild cold. I would rate my 2020 case as mild as well but it was very different, unlike anything else I'd ever had. Just a wide array of ever-changing odd symptoms that went on for two weeks.
oh ok lol. Some people still believe this nonsense that is why I wasn't sure
lol, seems like more people who are vaccinated and boosted are the ones getting Covid now.
Maybe, just maybe, if Novavax comes out, I'll consider that one. But not the mRNA ones.
