    To my knowledge I have not had it. My wife has been sick twice with possible Covid, got a negative test once. The 2nd time she got sick I gave her daily Vitamin D3 and Zinc and seemed to improve fairly rapidly. She won't continue to take them daily. I take a quality Men's Old Timers Multi Vitamin, Vit D3 and Zinc daily and haven't even had a sniffle yet. Knocking on head! Also, I am a cig smoker, so if that is a deterrent, so be it.

    I know 2 people who tested positive and one recovered reasonably quick. The other got his ass kicked and had a stroke about 2 weeks after getting better. He is still in rehab trying to regain use of his arm and speech, but is making very good progress and will be going home very soon.He is in his mid 60's and extremely obese.
    The stroke thing has been a rare side effect of covid it seems. My co-oworker (not a smoker) got hospitalized twice in the same week for covid and a month later (just this past week) suffered 3 hemorrhages in his brain. He was lucky though as he recovered within 2 days and is feeling normal.
    I've only known one cigarette smoker who has gotten it and he recovered. But his wife didnt make it, she had too many underlying conditions. They're both in their late 70s.
    Cigar smokers, 3 of my cousind had it and although they were pretty miserable for 5 days or so, they didn't need to be hospitalized.

    I myself thought I had it and quit smoking for 1 month just in case, but I did see an article saying that smokers are not only not more likely to be more sick, but they might actually get less sick than non-smokers. It's being studied right now, but the current leading theory is that nicotine's anti inflammatory properties are helping smokers not get covid.
