Thanks for this comparison.

I'm not sure how common symptomatic mono is, but I suspect it (along with some things like maybe pneumonia and bronchitis?) is a good reference point.

How was your bout with mono? I recall having tonsils so swollen I was afraid I'd have to go to the hospital for a few days, and then being perpetually exhausted for ~6-8 weeks.

Yeah for me mono was horrible for a week or so, then exhaustion for 2-3 months but nothing like long covid. Of course it could also be partly the fact I had mono in my early 20s and had covid in early 40s!
