Got it for 1-2 weeks January this year. At first I thought it was the seasonal flu and some coughing especially since it was in the middle of snow season. But then I had mild smell / taste loss symptoms and decided to test to make sure. And for 2-3 days, man I don't know how best to explain this, but my chest felt like it was stuck in an old moldy cardboard box, but after a few days I felt better. Smell & taste also came back fully in a few weeks and was back to normal but it was a very ... interesting experience.

Felt somewhat worse than a regular flu but in some ways I'm glad I got through it without getting too much worse for the wear.
