I've had it and everyone I know has had it (now in the dozens), including a number of elderly people. Everyone is fine. I recovered in a week, and out of literally dozens of people, I've not met anyone who took longer than that. I'm sorry about your dad, but let's not exaggerate based on personal anecdotes. The stories that get upvoted are the ones that scare people.

> Everyone is fine. I recovered in a week, and out of literally dozens of people, I've not met anyone who took longer than that. Calling bullshit. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-01589-z Anybody who lost their sense of taste or smell took months to recover that. Loss of smell or taste is almost 50% for Covid prior to Omicron. Even with Omicron, it's about 20%.

I’ve recovered my sense of sense and test within a week after the first onset of symptoms.

In 5-10 years, we might find that everyone that got the vaccine does die like everyone dies.. except they die several years earlier than average. Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud. That makes it easier to follow up with this was disingenuous of you: I'm not implying anything.

I don't see how my own personal views matter in regards to what I said. Even if I was pro vax, and had every booster under the sun, I could still just as easily post about how people on all sides of the covid spectrum have their own anecdata points... And bring up my coworker worried the vaccine is unsafe because his vaccinated and boosted boss, that seemed perfectly healthy, died in his sleep last week and now he's…

Sure you could just as easily post whatever, but you're not. Whoever called you coy wasn't giving you enough credit. You're propping up your worldview (one that's not supported with a shred of evidence) with innuendo.

I caught OG covid in June of 2020. I've had it once more (Feb of this year). Exposed a third time but tested negative (who knows about these tests). I've had fatigue, tinnitus, and a persistent neck pain since the Feb infection. What I would consider neurological symptoms as well (extremity weakness, vertigo, headaches). I'm pretty young (31). Prior to Feb, I was pretty active. Weight lifting every day, running 2 mil…

How’s your jaw? Did you start grinding your teeth / clenching your jaw?

Your symptom cluster is very similar to me since a long long time before Covid.

What's crazier is that if you run in circles of the unvaccinated, you almost think it's all in everyone's head. I mentioned earlier I work in a company where almost no one got vaccinated. We're somewhat customer facing, but did wear masks when the state required it. Almost no one has gotten covid of any of my friends/coworkers. I've been casual as can be, never touching a hand wash squirter, going out in SF outdoor a…

Here's a scary thought: everyone who's ever gotten vaccinated against COVID will die. Eventually. Just like everyone else.

Here's a scary thought more scary than your platitude. In 5-10 years, we might find that everyone that got the vaccine does die like everyone dies.. except they die several years earlier than average.

What's funny is that the narrative early 2021 was everybody getting the vaccine would die within a year. I'm happy to have survived it.

Never got tested, but my senses of taste and smell changed dramatically about 6 months ago. No other symptoms whatsoever. Everything tastes 'funny' like there it is contaminated with a drop of motor oil or something. Lost about 15 pounds just because I don't particularly feel like eating because it just isn't enjoyable. I usually love the garden tomatoes this time of year, but not this year. I have noticed that it ha…

Agree with sibling. You should go to a doctor. It might not be related to covid and can be a neurodegenerative disease.

Not to stir the pot too much, but the much more prevelant narrative was "Everybody not getting the vaccine would die within a year"
