Don't feel great, but I've had cases of the flu that were much, much, worse. What I have so far is like a cross between seasonal allergies, a cold, and bronchitis. The only thing strange is the lack of taste and smell.

Taking Tylenol and drinking plenty of fluid and under house arrest until 11/4.

So, this isn't a Tchefuncte Tiger deathwatch?

I had it, you should be better in 2-3 days. Same symptoms except I never really lost taste or smell.

I am curious as to how many times people ask you, "how did you get it?"

Virus shaming is real.

I’m curious how long it takes for your sense of taste to come back. Some people are claiming it can take a month which is crazy to me.

stay hydrated. I didn't and I think that may have made mine worse. Be careful too, because you might get burst of energy, but it will disappear faster than it appeared, and it will do that for a few days.

Probably caught it on the Tchefuncte this weekend for the trump boat parade ya heathen!!! I was there too!

Had it back in July. I agree that I’ve had worse flus. About 2-4 day of weird aches in the morning. Some diarrhea. A few days with a strange headache in the back of my head and then gone.

This was my experience too. However, day 5 is a key point where the cough may get worse. Get to the doc if it does and he'll dose you up with a steroid to knock it back to being mild again with the quickness.
