Me and Wifey got covid last month.

Wife got it first. Took 3 weeks for her to fully recover without any meds. She didn't want anything. Very mild symptoms.

Kissed her everyday until I got it.

Got Covid. Stayed sick for about a week to get the experience of it. Then just decided to use my stock of HCQ+. Fully recovered in 2 days.

Definitely a different type of sick than a cold or flu.

For those unsure, we were attacked by China. Number inflated for sure but Covid is a real thing.

I'm sorry you both were not able to side step the "mystery virus" - I believe colds / flu still exist. HOWEVER Covid has wiped out all other ailments, as if they do not exist.

Why is there no longer a flu or colds: seems illogical, right?
The mania in cleaning everything has kept all contagion confined.

In India, there is such a low % of sick people / fatalities, and yet communities are dense / compact. Some of us do have weaker immune systems, while others spend more time outside in sunshine and up their supplements & never get sick.

Wife and I are both healthy people. I can see how this can really hurt someone with an underlying condition. Lost a distant relative early on in his 40's. He had diabetes. Inflammation of tissue seems to be the big issue. Besides cough. Felt it in my back mostly.
