I tested positive in Nov 2020, was in close contact with two others that also tested postive, they had symptoms and as did I. I had a head cold for about 5 days, took advil once and did some yard work and worked thru it while I passed the 10 day quarantine. I had a funny feeling in my nasal passage like I had chlorine up my nose from pool water but never lost my sense of taste or smell. I've had much worse illnesses from norovirus and allergies.
I would never consider myself a "survivor" or some sort of martyr like the libs you mention.
My family of 4 got COVID in April.
My wife and my younger son were hospitalized with pneumonia.
My older son and I had no symptoms at all.
It’s interesting that my wife had been on HCQ for ten years. And our doctor put us all on Ivermectin.
