    UK person here. I had COVID a couple of weeks ago, so can only assume it was this strain. I had almost all of the symptoms listed here at some stage of the illness. They were not all in one go but came and went across the time I was ill, with the worst being muscle ache and fever that lasted a day. Loss/change in senses was the only symptom I never got from this list. The cough, tiredness and shortness of breath persisted for a few weeks afterwards and I’m only just getting over that.

    My partner and our kid caught it too. They both had all of these but seemed to recover much quicker than I had with the cough and shortness of breath not lasting as long.

    I’ve had Covid once before and it wasn’t better or worse this time round. I don’t know if that’s down to vaccination or what.

    I know several other people who were getting it around that time as well, all with similar symptom and recovery times.
