am pretty sure i had it back in the latter half of march last year. it felt a lot like the bug i had in 2009, IOW no fever or respiratory ails but felt like death warmed over, tremendous stiffness and soreness with many "hot spots" all over my body that were excruciatingly painful when disturbed. it lasted about 2 weeks. i've had worse but i can't really remember when.

I've survived it by not catching it so far. *Crosses fingers* But It's not over yet. I plan to survive it. By avoiding it. That is, unless it mutates and bring about the biggest holocaust end game mass extinction event ever in recorded human history. Then survival will be a luxury only a few will be able to afford. Worst case scenario.

Gosh.

Definitely not the common cold, nor even the common flu.

last time i was that sick i hadda go to urgent care where they stuck an IV in me with meds and fluid replenishment. this time i toughed it out at home so either i've gotten tougher or it wasn't quite as bad as the other thing i had in 2009. that said, people who poo-poo covid are idiots IMHO.

in 2009 the docs could only tell me "one of many different bugs in circulation." H1N1 was circulating that year, but i didn't have a fever or respiratory problems then, just horrible pain and fatigue.
