    Bummer. Get better soon! And what's it like? I strongly suspect I had it for 3 weeks in October but wasn't trying to wait in line for 4 hours to get tested.

    My wife and I have definitely have symptoms but it hasn't been too severe (so far at least). I've definitely lost my taste and sense of smell - I knew this would happen but it's very strange to actually experience. A lot of congestion issues. A nasty, nagging headache. But the most consistent one has been just general fatigue - feeling totally exhausted after, like, walking across the room to refill my glass of water.

    My experience so far is that it comes and goes in waves, so my hope is that it doesn't get noticeably worse than this. If I've seen the worst of it, it will be fairly manageable. But I've heard enough horror stories of symptoms lingering and intensifying, so who knows

    Yeah I had a mild dry cough and some nasty headaches(I typically get migraines but these were different) but like you said the most extreme fatigue. There would be days I got out of bed just to go sit on the couch and watch movies all day. And I'm somebody who has trouble sitting still. It seemed to hit me every other day like that for a month. Some chills too but nothing too bad. I also had no appetite. I never lost my sense of smell or had a fever though so who knows. Either way feel better soon brother
