Same here. A friend I was in close proximity to on Christmas Day caught COVID and confirmed it with a home test. Then her mother caught it, again confirmed at home. Three days ago I definitely started coming down with symptoms but have not confirmed it as COVID (home kits are sold out). Apart from an oscillating temperature, inability to taste many foods and some pain in the chest, it hasn't been much more nuisance than a typical bout with the flu.

You think those symptoms even come near flu symptoms? The flu is a 101 fever, living in the bathroom to be nearer the vomit tub, unable to eat or drink for 4 days. Soaked with sweat bed linens. Explosive diarrhea. - wishing the end would come soon.

Your description of your symptoms don’t even rise to the level of season hay fever. God, we’ve become a nation of little baby girls that cannot abide even the slightest discomfort.

I imagine you on Guadalcanal or Pelialu with the 1st Marine Division in 1944. Oh my god
