We should hear back today or in the next few days if my wife is positive. She was negative for flu. She isn't bad enough that they would have tested her except she works for a hospital in a direct patient contact role. So far, whatever she's got has included cough, sore throat, fever, bad body aches, diarrhea, ringing/stuffy ears, headache, a few bouts of dizziness, tightness in chest. Her lungs were clear even though she had the tightness in chest.
We'd consider her a very mild case at this point.
I have had sore throat, more sinus issues, some general fatigue and mental/emotional fatigue (however those could be due to my depression or my mother dying), ear pain/ringing/stuffiness, maybe some chest tightness (I have that typically anyway so hard to tell if it is new).
So, I guess, mild can be fairly mild, not sure yet as we don't know if she is positive or if the worse has come. The shortage of testing is a real issue all the way around.
