mild cases. I didn't get it until fall 2022 (had to travel due to death in family).

I am immune suppressed due to meds, so I had an infusion and started on Paxlovid. I had already had vaccines by then as well. I think all of those helped, but also inhaler and codeine cough syrup were key. Coughing was my worst symptom. I did stay positive for about 3 weeks, even when feeling a lot better.
