Honestly, the long covid effects scared me more than actual death did. There’s people who now have a permanent lack of energy, brain fog, on permanent disability, etc. That was definitely my main concern in trying to avoid corona.

When I got it, it wasn’t bad - but it was definitely different than what the flu usually does. My symptoms were mostly muscle aches, things tasting off, and a mild cough. I didn’t get things like a sore throat or runny nose like the usual flu symptoms.

Yeah my wife said that it was different from the flu or a cold too. Her symptoms appeared to be a severe flu, but she said she knew immediately that it was covid when the symptoms became more serious since it was different than anything else she'd ever felt before.
