Yeah I never lost my sense of smell or taste, thank goodness. To me it was just a bad flu. It was noticeably worse than average, but “in the same ballpark” is how I keep phrasing it. I had actually been sicker once before, a flu sometime around 2008 that hit me right around a round of chemo drugs I took for an autoimmune disorder. It wasn’t chemotherapy, but it was one of the drugs you take when you are on chemotherapy. It makes you susceptible. My wife has been sick twice in the 30 years I’ve been with her, and she caught that same flu that year and it was also worse than Covid19. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around how they’ve convinced so many people that you don’t have some immunity after having it. Everyone I know that had it when it first came out and never got it again. And I live in a place where we don’t wear masks and never social distance, and we didn’t really even close down stores or restaurants or anything except places like aquariums and zoos, etc. I think the people who live in fear of this thing are absolutely bonkers. It’s like two different worlds. Family and friends that I know who live up in the Northeast and Northwest are living a completely different life than we do down here in the south. I mean it’s not even close to the same world. We are down here walking around and going places and doing things and having a life and we didn’t really take precautions but they are up there cowering in fear. Again, it’s like we live in two entirely different universes.
