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.
Well that's all this shit is. A rare strain. As it mutates there will be more severe and less severe strains that come from it.
