Yes, it is something... I had it in Dec/Jan (pretty sure). Worse cold/flu of my life. But it is truly not much worse than a bad flu. It was probably engineered to be worse, but they failed. And the actual numbers bear that out.

I have not been sick since. I attribute that to the massive increase in cleaning efforts everywhere. I've always been kind of a germaphobe, so I'm cool with businesses cleaning the hell out of everything... It should always be like that.
