Came down with the flu on Christmas Eve, and was sick for four or five days, followed by a long recovery process where I was doing a lot of productive coughing early on, which gradually faded over a few weeks. I have wondered if that could have been COVID19. Likely just the seasonal flu, though.

One thing different about it was the severe joint pain that came on out of the blue the moment the standard flu symptoms appeared, and took a couple of months to disappear. For several days, I could barely lift my arms due to shoulder pain. Weird. Never had anything like that associated with the flu.
