If I had this back in March of this year. I had what I thought was a head cold in March, and had a sore throat for about five days that felt like what is described. I then lost my sense of taste and have only had it back for about a month. Never occurred to me I might have Covid until I lost my sense of taste because it just didn’t seem that bad except for the sore throat.
