This is a bioengineered virus and it’s weird.
I had it over Christmas break, as did my spouse. Our symptoms were very similar. We are in our early 40s, not overweight, mostly healthy. We had the equivalent of a bad flu. Pretty nasty muscle aches and fatigue, lost sense of smell and taste (that part was spooky tbh), and the dreaded dry cough.
My sister and her husband in another state, similar age demographic, had about the same experience. My mom also had it, and at age 71, similar flu-like experience. I think this flu-like reaction is the most common.
There are people of all ages who get very ill and die from the flu. And people *probably* are asymptomatic for the flu, they just would never know. If you’re at a party with someone who has the flu, you don’t run out and get a flu test. In the same scenario with Covid, you might get tested before visiting family or traveling and find out you’re asymptomatic.
