I know that the plural of anecdote isn't data, but over the New Year holiday I was ill with the full house of coronavirus symptoms - fever, myalgia, uncontrollable coughing and breathing difficulties. When the coughing fits came I couldn't breath in, had a "stridor" (a noise like a wheeze but on trying to inhale, caused by the airways closing up), turned blue in the face and nearly passed out a couple of times. The dry cough persisted for weeks and I'm only just over it. I don't know what bug I had but I've never experienced anything like it. It does make you wonder if coronavirus has been in the U.K. longer than we think.
To be fair that could have been severe flu but it does sound like it. Did you have a flu jab?
