Anecdotal, but I got my first bought of covid in Feb. 2020, and it was very flu-like for me. I've had 2 more infections after that (one, didn't even know, and the next was like a mild cold). In South Florida, we barely had a lockdown.

How do you even know it was COVID? It could have been any number of flu/cold? In feb 20 there was no way to get tested for it

The complete loss of smell and taste, was never a flu symptom to me before.
