re: despite becoming a hermit, Howard Stern finally got Covid last week

I wonder if when he had it he ever thought to himself "you know this isn't that much worse than a cold" like almost everyone else that's gotten it in the past year

My parents had it last week. It put them both in the hospital for a couple of days. I had it in November. I got over it without medical intervention but I felt like dogshit for a few days and had fatigue and a lingering cough for a couple of weeks. It's not the death sentence it was for a lot of people in 2020 but my experience with it was more than a cold. YMMV.
