Well I’ve been in contact with several people I know that have/had it, and as has been posted the severity of the illness is on an individual basis.

But the two elements that seem consistent ( and this is based on a handful of people I know that thankfully have not needed hospital care) is severe breathing problems, so bad that it’s hard to talk, apparently quite distressing at the time, lasting typically for around 3-4 days accompanied with severe Muscle pain in the chest, arms, neck and abdomen. Apparently words cannot get across how it hits you. This is from people my age. 45-55,

But, thankfully, they have got over it.

I’m hoping not to experience it, where I am, I’m semi-rural my the family are staying put and I’m only going out for the shop when required, so I am hopeful we can dodge it.
