I also got hit with COVIID early 2020 and it was EVIL. It wasn't even on the radar yet, but I had all the classis symptoms of a very bad flu, fever, body aches, etc, and the added bonus of not being able to smell or taste anything. I was unable to do anything but crawl to the bathroom and back to bed for 2 days. Started feeling a little better on the 3rd day and returned to a pretty much normal routine after a few more days. COVID left me with damage to my right leg below the calf. I also got a secondary infection in my sinuses that lasted for over a month. I got over the sinus infection after two rounds of antibiotics but my leg is still damaged and swells up easily and very sensitive to being scratched and has got infected several times once so bad I had to go the ER just to be diagnosed with cellulitous and had to be put on IV anitbiotics to get rid of it.

I know a few others who had a pretty rough time with it and left with permanent disabilities, lung damage, never regaining sense of smell/taste, etc.

COVID took the lives of several friends and relatives, it can be evil, and deadly,......
