Got it, I strongly suspect, on a Friday back in March 2020, started off as not been able to taste or smell which wasn't a known symptom at the time, before being in bed for a couple of days over the weekend and one evening struggled to breathe. Had Monday and Tuesday off sick and back to work on Wednesday. Not had a peep of it since.

My wife and I plus my two girls had it three weeks ago.We all had flu like symptoms and fatigue. I also had brain fog. I had difficulty adding up and short term memory problems. These have now seized. My wife still feels sick and tired three weeks after.

My daughter (21) had it at Uni back in June and was miserable for 8 days, lost taste which has now come back but otherwise she managed fine. My son (18) has had one dose of vaccine (Pfizer) and went to Boardmasters in Newquay with 13 of his mates two weeks ago. 10 of them came back with Covid last week including him - of the four who didn't two had just had it a few weeks prior and the other two, well, they got it as well later last week. The boy has been mooching around the house for a week, not isolating within the home and my wife and I (both fully vaxxed) have not caught it - well, I think I have but only symptoms are a bit of fatigue and feeling a bit clammy for the last few days like I'm fighting something off. I am pretty sure it's covid that's making me feel like this as I haven't felt like this for nearly 2 years. As far as I'm concerned that means the vaccine has done it's job. I have been isolating and not going out as in all I could still spread it, tests are negative though. My son was a little rough, cough etc, but nothing serious and we were a little worried as he was hospitalized when he was very young with chest and breathing issues and he has asthma (exercise related, not day to day, he uses inhalers for rugby). Lost taste and smell a little. He's not been working and will go back next week. His main worry was that he wouldn't be able to get his new tattoo done and healed before the season starts. Priorities eh?

I had it quite early on. Had a few days of feeling very tired and a couple of nights of having a fever but short term, that was it. A year later and I still can't taste anything properly other than Garlic. Nearly killed my parents, but they've both got several underlying health conditions.

Tested positive on Sunday after starting with what I thought were cold symptoms on Friday night. Daughter also tested positive, but wife tested negative. I'm double jabbed and my wife is double jabbed plus booster. Symptoms started with a runny nose and sneezing, but have developed into a deep, chesty cough, aching shoulders, tiredness, complete loss of smell and 90% loss of taste. My wife made homemade shepherd's pie for tea tonight and I couldn't smell a thing. Could just about taste a bit of onion.

That would be a blessing with my wife's cooking. I think I had in Feb 20 on a visit to NYC - couldn't smell or taste anything for 2-3 months.

I had it pretty bad in March 2020, although it could not be tested at the time, and I was working in critical care, it was definitely Covid and absolutely knocked the smoke out of me. 10 days solid in bed, uncontrollable fever, loss of taste and smell, weird rash, and bad cough. Took me about a month to get over it with fatigue etc. I was thrust straight into night shift as the poo had well and truly hit the fan in the 2 weeks i had off, operating theatres were turned into make shift icu spaces, it was a very scary and sad time watching countless people lose their lives. Saying all this I don’t know anyone who has died or had this bad. While I was very badly in bed my partner and little boy were fine!

When I tested positive last January, out of the blue on a routine workplace test as I had no symptoms at all, I can honestly say that I felt nothing untoward whatsoever. No fever, no flu like symptoms, no loss of sense of smell.
However the vaccinations have been pretty terrible. Even with my booster a few weeks back I was laid up for about 4 days.
