...and I want a refund on the last year and a half of societal hysteria.

Symptoms: Nose ran like a faucet initially, then settled down into a mild runny nose. Mild sinus congestion, slight cough from nasal drainage, mild chest pressure, tiredness, and slightly decreased oxygen capacity. I ran three miles yesterday and it felt like I'd gone up 3-4000 feet in altitude. Inconvenient, but no big deal. Cold symptoms are typically worse than this.

The irony is that I caught it from some mask and vax cultists who were convinced their surgical masks, jabs, and social distancing would protect them. I've resisted the urge to remind them that I did warn them that their medical theater was useless.

I'm looking forward to being a naturally immune pureblood in short order.

I got it early. 20 months ago. Mild dry cough for 2 days. Natural immunity.

THAT SOUNDS SCARY! WHY DIDN'T YOU GO TO THE HOSPITAL! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's the common fucking cold, people. I love the stories they push about people who aren't sick who test positive for the rona therefore MUST be in quarantine.

The symptoms are distinct from the common cold (I've never had a cold that resulted in this distinct sense of chest pressure and decreased oxygen capacity no matter how congested I was), but in terms of severity...yeah, this isn't much worse than a cold. I want a freaking apology from everyone who lost their minds over this nothingburger.

Feeling tired like I stayed up overnight, having the sniffles, and breathing like I'm up in the mountains is unpleasant but doesn't justify much more than going to bed early. Heck, I have dexamethasone on hand and could easily go buy ivermectin (for my...uh...horse) but this "pandemic" is so weak that it's not worth bothering taking more than some OTC decongestants.

Of course if you were a 400 pound sedentary lard bucket you would be in trouble.

Coronaviruses account for about 20% of what is called the common cold.
