Very minor. Aside from loss of smell for a month my wife and I had no significant symptoms. I felt pretty exhausted but those weeks in NYC were so crazy that it’s hard to say what was Covid and what was ambient stress. My kids had positive antibody tests but never had symptoms. We were very fortunate.
Loss of smell apparently is correlate with more minor cases and better outcomes. I don’t believe we know why yet.
Either that or people with more serious symptoms have other things to worry about and don't notice/report it. Additional research required.
Thank you for sharing.
