I had it. I was on my butt for at least two weeks and another two weeks to recover to somewhat normal function. This is the bug that is the leading cause of ARDS. I’m surprised how long it took the CDC to report this.
I have one of two responses to these types of infections:
1) I get the sniffles for a couple days, drink alot of fluids, aspirin, zinc, vit c, typical stuff or
2) I am SEVERELY ravaged by it for a week or more, stuck in bed with a 102-105 temp but freezing my butt off, unable to eat, in too much pain to move.
In the last 15 years or so event 2) has happened twice. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
I think I had it last winter. I had one cold for about 3 weeks, then got another one before I got over the first one. I was sick for 2 whole months!
