I had lost my sense of smell, had a very mild fever for 3 weeks that started to turn into a dry cough. But yesterday all symptoms seem to have stopped. Hopefully I’ve already had it but impossible to say...

This whole covid-insanity has a huge knowledge hole about the mild cases, which do not require hospitalizations and would show what the vast majority of the population can expect: nothing. but I guess if you don't die it won't generate clicks and viral shares, so nobody care about your recovery. kthxby. just kidding. glad to know you are fine. just remember that recurring infections by variations is what killed young brave doctors. continue to take care.

  ~50% will be asymptomatic, of the remaining 50% you'll see a range of issues from "mild" illness, to feeling like a truck hit you, to hospitalization, to critical care. I do not think however that COVID is sensationalized. If nothing is done, we would see 100ks - >1M deaths. That is traumatic for a society. Those numbers of course, would result from 100M+ people infected.

    Can we get a source for the 50% asymptomatic claim? Not doubting you just never heard it before

Take care of yourself over the next few days. I've seen reports from people where this was phase 1. Phase 2 a few days later was flu-like symptoms, and phase 3 a few days after that was difficulty breathing (and yes, they felt better between phases). Anecdotal, but IMO worth baring in mind!

  It seems fine now, but cough has returned, was getting worse but a really good deep sleep seems to have helped (5htp + zinc + phosphatidylserine + 1mg melatonin).
