Has anyone here caught it? Has anyone you know?

My best friend caught it and got sick for 3 weeks or so. His coughing was intense, and fever was pretty bad. He lost his sense of taste as well, but eventually made a full recovery. He lives in the Netherlands.

My friends here in the US have caught it but developed milder symptoms, just a fever and coughing. All have made full recoveries except one whose sense of taste is still a bit off. None of my friends in the Philippines have caught it.

Fortunately, no one I know has died yet.
