Still haven’t had it, but had a close contact a few days ago, so I’m just curious.

It's been a couple of years, but I'm pretty sure it was something around 5 days from exposure to feeling my first symptoms. I got it from a large event after people had stopped wearing masks regularly.

It hit me pretty fast and hard as soon as the symptoms started. I went from feeling perfectly fine to feeling very feverish. Checked my temperature and it was over 100F. The first night was the absolute worst for me. Everything hurt, I was both burning up and freezing cold. After my fever broke the next day, I was mostly fine outside of the cough which lasted a few weeks.
