You were fortunate that you got through it, and I'm glad for that. But I stand by my statement. Compared to Smallpox, the infamous "Spanish Flu" that swept the world after WW I, or the "Black Death" of the 14th century, Covid is a walk in the park with survival rates in the 95%+ range even for "at risk" populations.
I didn't go to a doctor. Knowing it was a virus, I realized there was nothing they could do about it. The immune system has to eliminate viruses, and though they make viral inhibitors and such, it was very unlikely that I would be given anything like that.

Well this is true, but there is a lot of distance between this thing and mild and meek. Mild and meek is like a head cold. This thing was rough.
Of course my Son threw it off like it was nothing. Fever and vomiting one day, and feeling alright the next. For me it was a week of very sick chills and fever, wondering if this was going to kill me, followed by a week of being very weak, and several months before I felt normal again.
Second time was just two days, and never got as bad as the first go round. Felt normal two weeks later.
