Sucks. But that's what the flu is. You've likely built up antibodies agains other strains. So the first few hits of covid are likely to be unpleasant. It's a flu strain. Not much else to it.
If you're older your body has no natural immunity and will hit harder. I've been sick twice and tested negative, so who knows. My sense of smell is toast, gone for the most part besides pungent odors. I can taste though. It's weird. Could be natural aging, but going from a level 10 sense of smell to a 2 or 3 is fucked up.
Heal up. Either the tests are shit or it's generally not that severe in most people. Still don't know of any hospitalizations or deaths personally. (not friends of friends scenarios).

I’ve either never had it or experienced no symptoms. Both times I’ve been sick since March 2020, I tested for Covid and was negative

I'm at the point that it's made up. Tin foil hat shit. But nothing leads me to believe it. Someone I should have personally known should have died for the reaction. That didn't happen. Instead it was just labeled dangerous and we were all fucked.

Sorry to hear it. How do you think you got it? Kids, wife, mass transit, work? And if you do not mind me asking, how is your health in general? Overweight/obese? Co-morbidities like diabetes, HBP, COPD? Exercise, outdoors activities? Taking immunosuppressants? Do you get sick often, besides the coof?
I am curious because (knock on wood) unvaxxed me hasn't been symptomatic and my vaxxed not boosted wife also has been unsymptomatic. Never got PCR'd. A 30 year-old vaxxed and boosted relative has gotten it twice, laid up in bed for days both times.

I'm 56, 6 feet and 198 lbs. No health issues. I'd say I'm moderately active. I got it from my wife. I get a cold or flu once a year.

My wife had it about 6 months ago and tested positive. She had to test all the time because of a profoundly stupid rule for teachers even though no kids are at risk in the least.
She was ill for about 2 weeks total, and then got entirely better.
I did not catch it from her, which I think illustrates the natural immunity I got from catching it in November 2019, before it was officially a thing. Of course I couldn't test back then because there were no tests and no one suspected anything unusual, but I do remember thinking how odd it was that everyone in the office got sick on the same day, and that it was an unusual cold because there was an odd metallic smell to it. I've read that that is a common symptom:

But aside from that, it was just a mild cold for me and went away in a few days.

People reported pervasive “off” smells, or a metallic taste

Before I get into all of the details...no, I did not test the first time or the second time. Yes, I suppose it could be the flu but, both of these were much different than any other flu I've ever experienced before. Both times, I contracted "it" from my wife who lost her sense of taste both times.
Tuesday 3am - Extreme chills
Wednesday morning - A "kill me now" headache that lasted all day. So bad was it that I moaned all day. Not a single pain killer helped.
Slept all day and took 3 Ivermectin pills (12mg) throughout the day. Extreme fatigue.
Thursday Morning - felt a LOT better but the headache was on a low boil. Could get up and walk the dogs.
Friday 5am - Extreme headache woke me up. Took Tylenol
Friday morning about 10am - I'm about 90-95% back to normal. If I had to go back to work, I could.
I got this flu/Covid from my wife. She still doesn't have a sense of taste. This is what leads me to believe I have/had Covid. She didn't take any Ivermectin until the 3rd day. I started taking it right away.
I just ran into my neighbor who is a nurse while walking the dogs. I warned her that I was sick but almost recovered. She told me not to get tested. Haha.
Just thought I'd share.
