The fact that i had gone the first five years of COVID's life without getting it, At least to my knowledge, I couldn't help but be surprised.
But unfortunately i've been having to deal with it for the first time during the last few days.

I will say, It really doesn't quite feel like the worst thing i've ever had.
Even after i went through a number of the symptoms that i have.

If i had to rate it by its severity based upon my own experience with it, I'd only give it maybe.. 7/10?
I had some kind of a sickness back in May of 2022 that i would currently rate higher at 8/10, Because whatever that was made me throw up.

So i guess maybe it depends on perspective and how well one's body handles something.

But yeah, Still not fun though, I'll give you that.
