I’ve had the flu 3 times and I had Covid. I would take the flu any day. I have no underlying health issues and this virus kicked my butt. My husband almost took me to the hospital twice because I could barely breath walking up a flight of stairs. So many different symptoms. I started with a dry cough that lasted 5 weeks and I also lost my taste and smell. This all started March 19 after getting together with my nurse friends for St Paddy’s with 8 of us. All but 2 of us tested positive. To this day my taste and smell are diminished and I still get a little winded on exertion. I’m just saying that this is more serious than the flu although I know some people are asymptotic. Wearing a mask and just being careful is just being a little inconvenienced because I don’t wish this on anyone. Our numbers are finally coming down in NY but I know many people who did not make it. I see Florida is ramping up. I love TV and want everyone to be safe and smart about social distancing, washing hands and wearing masks.
