Short list

  1. Lose sense of smell <<< maybe permanently or reduced
  2. Lose breathing <<<might die or maybe permanently have lower lung capacity
  3. Glossing of lungs <<< what the fuck is this even? Is that a medical term never heard it before
  4. Child inflammation disease <<< 100 young kids got this then it went away
  5. Covid toes curled up toes that made no fucking sense

Anyone remember any of the other ridiculous shit they claimed

I'm pretty sure I've had corona. My wife and I both had a high fever for about 24 hours and then 1-2 more days of feeling a bit off while we recovered. Never got tested because a) who gives a fuck and b) in the country we're currently in, corona means mandatory hospitalization.

The funny thing was that a week or so later, my wife was cooking bacon and eggs, our normal Sunday morning breakfast. I was sitting in the kitchen a couple of meters away from the stove and I realized I couldn't smell the bacon at all. I didn't say anything but that's how I know it was the rona. Sense of smell is about 90% back to normal, several months later.

So just a regular cold/flu?

For us it was better than a cold. Completely incapacitating for 24 hours, but then basically nothing.

But corona is real through, for sure. There's no other disease that cleaves your smell receptors like that. I also have two close friends doing post grad at Oxford who actually worked on the Astra-Zeneca vaccine. It's real.

But, corona clearly only seriously affects a tiny proportion of the population with preexisting conditions. It's totally unclear to me whether lockdowns etc are actually cost effective. If you're fit and healthy, corona ain't shit.

IIRC that was one of the more rare side effects of the common cold.
