i had it back in november and it was horrible. i still haven't gotten my sense of smell back completely and some things still don't have a taste. at one point i could barely even move because of how severe the exhaustion from it was which resulted in losing a lot of weight and being dehydrated. i could barely breathe a lot of the time as well. i was able to recover but i can see why people get so scared over it, especially older people. it took me over a month to fully recover, and as i said some things are still here.
everyone in my family immediate family got it as well. honestly it's sad but the time off work was still nice despite the covid. :/

oh man that sounds awful...!!! i hope you're feeling back to 100% soon!!
I've never had covid myself, but a few of my relatives (all who live far away) have had it, and they said it was really horrid!! my cousin in particular was laid up for quite a while

I think I must have gotten it early because my mom works in a hospital and got really sick at the end of last February. No one in our house has gotten sick since, despite having multiple exposures.
Two of my friends (who are dating each other) both got it in the same week. It knocked one of them out flat-- she couldn't stand up without fainting and she was hospitalized. The other one had literally no symptoms other than a light cough. So yeah, this illness affects everyone differently.

no, unless i just didn't get any symptoms at all. but i hardly have left the house in a year so that's probably why since i haven't been very exposed. but i'm scared af of getting it once i finally move back onto campus. i can't really control who i'm around then (compared to at home) but here's to hoping college students actually listen for once on all the safety measures and that my new roommate is chill

Iโm not sure; early in 2020 I got very sick twice, but at the time time there were multiple respiratory viruses running amok in my area.
I have been vaccinated though, can I can assure you the booster shot is a kick in the ass.

I don't think so and unless the vaccine doesn't work well with me, then I probably won't get it.
I just got the booster today so I'm hoping to get through work and then sleep my weekend away.

No, but my piano teacher got a Covid scare because someone at her son's preschool got it. No lesson this week and her whole family has to get tested.

yea
funny thing is, when I HAD covid, it was fine. Didn't feel anything really, light cough like allergies. It was two weeks later that the post-covid heart issues hit and boi that was not fun. Spent a whole month where I could hardly walk to my kitchen without being massively dizzy/vertigo, being tired all the time and with a pounding heartbeat if I so much as stood up. As someone with a family history of heart problems, it was hella terrifying and I had to go in every week to make sure it wasn't causing permanent damage. And I didn't even have covid anymore!! my +test (when the rest of my housemates got it) was almost three weeks before this month of hell. :(
I've had a few friends that got it (gotta love having to go to jobs that don't protect their workers in order to eat that week). only one was hospitalized, but two of them had it bad enough that they were in bedrest for 1-2 weeks. One had it trigger a chronic issue they previously had managed, but now is resurfacing which is :/ and we're all "healthy young adults". I'm just glad my one friend that is immunodeficient has the luxury of being able to stay home/take off work and doesn't have to risk exposure for rent like most of us right now.
covid is no joke. if you love them, stay away. better to go a few months/year without physically seeing each other than have your next visit at their funeral. there are a lot of problems that go further than just respiratory with little study done yet about long term effects.

No, at least not that I'm aware of. (I've never felt sick or had any symptoms, but also never been tested, so I can't be 100% sure).

Nope. I've been lucky enough to not get it yet, and I know I will be one of the last people to get the vaccine so for me, its just "buck up!"
I calculated how many weeks it will take for everyone to get the vaccine in my state (it is one of the 50 in USA) IF everyone decides to take the vaccine and IF the supply stays the same, though obviously none of these will be true.
According to my calculations it will take 55-70 weeks for everyone in the state to get vaccinated IF the supply of vaccines stays the same and IF everyone in the state decides to take it. Because both of these will NOT be true, I estimate it will take about 50 weeks, so about 1 year for everyone to get vaccinated in my state.
That is way longer than I thought, but this is just for my state, and just letting you guys know my state doesn't have that many cases compared to other states in the United States, so it will probably take longer there.

I haven't. But last autumn my infant sister had a health scare that put her in the hospital, and for a while it was assumed to be COVID. It turned out to be a different illness and she made a full recovery, but that week where we didn't know was the most terrified I've ever felt.

My family and I got hit with it a month ago, thankfully none of us had it severely enough that we needed to go to ER. I had it the mildest but my parents and sister all each spent at least a couple days practically knocked out with the fatigue. My mom lost her sense of taste for one or two days but no one else did. My parents and I had impacted senses of smell though, which we've only just started to get back over the past couple weeks o.o'

weird, seems like a lot of y'all have had experience yourself or someone you know get it pretty bad. my college campus has had something like 150 cases since the start of fall semester and not a single person showed symptoms beyond a light cough (most don't show any at all).

I'm actually astonished it knocked my friend out as hard as it did, since she's young and physically healthy. I'm wondering if the daily glass of psych meds she takes had dampened her immune system or something. All the non-anecdotal evidence points to the illness being fairly mild for most people. My mom is in charge of making sure employees with Covid don't go to work, and she says more than half of people with positive tests are shocked to find out they have it because they had no symptoms.

Thankfully and surprisingly no. Given I have asthma I'd probably drop from it.
One of my childhood friends was tested positive for it I think last month and got through fine, but not without terrifying me in the process with the news about the test. x.x
I just want my vaccine already so that I can go outside and visit my father again, been almost a whole year since I saw him now...

My mom just got a positive test the other day. Honestly I'm surprised it took this long considering my parents have been negligent this whole time. Now they want me to go into stores for groceries we don't even need, even though I'm probably contagious too. I ain't doing that though.

I'm sure that I've had it at least once.
But because I never got tested I can't confirm it.

I don't think so but if I have I had an extremely mind case. I'd only genuinely gotten sick for sure the entire last year once in December- but it was really mild and since it was right after the rest of my family got sick (and all tested negative), I just assumed I was negative as well cause I hadn't gone anywhere for a while at the time so there was no one else I could have got it from if I did.
So yeah I'd honestly be shocked if I had it, cause if I did I would have either had been asymptomatic or have extremely mild symptoms. Which is possible but at this point I'll never know until I get an antibody test.

Possibly? Back from mid May through almost September my mom and younger brothers were super sick, literally the weirdest thing because at the start my mom's symptoms would change almost daily. My dad, who worked out of town a lot, literally did not come home unless he absolutely had too. My mom is weird and refused to be tested, but when everyone was mostly better my little brother had a doctor's appointment and the doctor agreed that they probably had it.
Weird thing is that I was perfectly fine during all of this, not a single symptom that didn't match up with my preexisting conditions. I also donated blood in December and had no Covid antibodies.
My older brother, who lived in Texas at the time, caught Covid in October but his symptoms were more like a bad cold.

My family thinks they caught back in early 2020 because they all got super sick. My sister and mom couldn't even move because it felt like their lungs were being stabbed. I guess the virus was too scared of my immune system because I didn't even get as much as a cough.

Nope, but I've totally gotten jumpier. Every time I hear one of my family members even cough, I interrogate them to ask if they're feeling fine.

As far as I know, I haven't had it, but I've been quarantining very rigorously (barely have left the house for... a year now) because my partner has some lung scarring from a past medical crisis, and though we would probably be ok (young, fit, healthy), we don't want to risk it.
i've had a couple friends who have got it and all been mostly ok. all thought it was just allergies, but then lost their sense of taste and figured they should get tested. however, we've had two family friends die of it (one in her early 50's, the other in his late 50's) :( my grandfather's nursing home is having an outbreak right now so we've been kind of freaking out about it. he had his first dose of the vaccine, but he's very old so we're afraid even a mild case may kill him.
