Have you had COVID and what was it like?

You can change your vote if you get it.

No "I died" option?

[Grinning_Colossus]

That was an oversight. Let us know if you died.

Is this Heaven?

If it is, pray for immortality.

I voted asymptomatic.  My wife had it and I was exposed to her for over a week before she started showing symptoms from when we know she was exposed.  I find it very hard to believe I wouldn't have contracted it, but I did not get tested.

If I was her I'd vote "I should probably have gone to the hospital" as her case was pretty bad.  My brother had covid too and for him, I'd probably vote the same thing.... and his wife was also totally asymptomatic.

I think some people manage to not get it from their spouse, it's one of the mysteries.

I had something in spring which didn't feel like a cold. Just sore throat and some coughing. Very mild symptoms, a normal year I would hardly have registered it. I treated it like Covid-19 when it came to isolation etc, but I was never tested.

AFAIK, I haven't had it.

Health authorities asked that my daughter get tested. She had no symptoms & obviously tested negative. Visiting the testing center was my closest exposition to the disease.

The likelihood is low but I strongly suspect I had it early last year before the UK started taking it seriously. For sure I had something that messed up my breathing severely (couldn't even walk without being out of breath), made my gf lose her sense of taste and smell, knocked my mam off work for a few days, etc...
No proof it actually was corona however.

I have been tested three times, and they all came back negative.  So far

I guess... but in my brother's case it's just not believable his wife didn't get it.  He got it from his son (who tested positive too but was asymptomatic).  Their son is 3 and is constantly climbing over them and everything else, drooling on everyone and everything, etc.

If your gf lost taste and smell likelihood is actually very high.

While not everyone infected loses those senses, those who do overwhelmingly test positive.

Neither me or anyone in my close family got it (that we know of).

I have 3 friends that had it (and ultimately, everyone in their household was infected). One was asymptomatic, one had a nasty flu equivalent, and the other had a "should've gone to the hospital" case (but this was April and hospitals were overloaded). He lost 9 Kg during the illness.

Oh, also, my cousin's wife's great aunt, as well as a friend of mine's stepfather, have both died from it.
