Anyone had it recently/got it.
I’ve had it since Saturday, and it has really kicked my R,s, I still feel really crappy.
I thought it was just going to be a bit of a head cold,oh no…it’s given me an ear infection,l wheeze after a couple of minutes walking,no appetite,really dizzy all the time…
How has it affected you guys and girls. |  | | |  |

I’ve had it 2 or 3 times,but only ever had mild symptoms really.My in-laws suffered quite badly in 2020 when they caught it,but I’ve not heard of anyone suffering much these days.
Maybe I’m just lucky. [Post edited 24 Jul 13:39]

81 year old Joe Biden recently contracted Covid and has been given the all clear soon after by his doctor in a written statement, although he hasn't been seen much in public since the news that he had it. Hopefully that means it's no longer a big threat to the elderly. [Post edited 24 Jul 12:28]

Tested negative for it 10 days ago but the likelihood is that I had it as the tests are old and no good with new strains etc . Lost all taste and sense of smell a week ago and only returning now .
Brutal cold with the worst aches and pains sore throat etc .
Apologies to the original poster if he was in MU Saturday . Chances are I gave you it 🤣 |  | | |

Just over it after a crappy two and a half weeks- chronic cough and head cold and then terrible itchy, red and watering eyes for a week.
Feel better. [Post edited 24 Jul 15:35]

Last couple of months I've completely lost my sense of taste.
Some say I never had much taste anyway. | |

Apparently the strain out there at the moment is a bit more ferocious. |  |

My sister-in-Law and her daughter have had it in the last fortnight. It seems quite bad (my SiL lost her taste and smell for a while) but not as contagious -ie I didn’t get it (yet). |  | | |

It's been very visible round here.
75% of my colleagues have tested positive in last few weeks and I felt extremely tired, headache, sore throat issues etc.But when was feeling slightly better, the tests said I had it.
We had lot of staff off work who isolated as we are a vulnerable adult charity.
As others have said its flu under a different name.
If it was dangerous why is no one receiving a vaccination anymore. But that's a whole other debate.
Let's not go there !!!
Hey ho.... |  |

Had it once, badly, a couple of years ago, but somehow escaped when Mrs KR got it last year. Possibly because I'd had a more recent vaccination. |  |

Covid will be/is now just another lurgy. We get the 'flu, think nothing of it. Suffer it through for a few days and crack on. |  | | |

Tempting fate I know, but I've never had it, or even taken a test.
Consequence of being a miserable, unsociable hermit. |  | | |

Hope the taste comes back soon - just doing another batch of Tandoori Chicken Tikka on the charcoal Tandoor.Smells good anyway. | |

Caught it before they'd even named it. A miserable 45 days of constant coughing (31/12/19 to 14/02/20). Was advised by a medical lady to take plenty of vitamin D as viruses do not cope well with vitamin D (except the sexually transmitted ones). Been on vitamin D since 2020 and all clear so far. |  | | |

You can’t have what doesn’t exist. A strain of flu nothing more. | |

That maybe what it looks like, but COVID can harm internal organs for the long term. The usual Flu strains may or may not do this too, but COVID seems to be more aggressive to internal organs than those.
Therefore COVID is still a big harm to life expectancy, more than the Flu.
So, no its not the same. |  |

I've had flu twice, once as a young teen and a second time at the end of 1999 when everyone on the planet was partying. My experience is flu is much worse than Covid and lasts about the same amount of time (45 days). | | | |

It's not flu, it's caused by a different virus. That's an actual scientific fact.
NHS seasonal vaccinations to groups considered to be at higher risk are still a thing. | |

If you are suffering through flu for a few days and back fit that soon then I’d suggest you don’t have flu rather you have a common cold
Flu and COVID are far more serious viruses |  |

Had it twice. First time felt terrible for maybe 5 days and no energy for a week after that.
Second time (last November) the recovery was quicker. Felt really bad for 3 days or so but then picked up quite quickly.
In contrast, haven't had flu since I was a kid. [Post edited 25 Jul 0:04]
