I've had it twice. Got my 2 vaccine doses and I think we're up to 4 boosters? I work in a hospital in the cousin-fuckingly deep south, so I'm pretty much permanently in the middle of a plume of that shit.

Anyway, kept my sense of taste and smell both times, My symptoms were sore throat, fatigue, and horrific sneezing fits... like 10 mins straight of sneezing every couple seconds. Got to the point that it triggered nose bleeds and felt like I got punched in the sinuses.

Relatively mild compared to what covid has the potential to be, but still not a good time.
