The absolute worst I ever recall feeling in terms of flus/viruses during my entire lifetime was in December 2000 at the age of 23, and it floored me for well over 3 weeks, but had mostly gone by about 3rd January 2001, despite still feeling the odd residual symptoms well into the middle of that month.
Probably the 'Covid' of the time, as it certainly had many of the hallmarks of Covid-19, but fortunately didn't seem to claim mass casualties though!
I think the worst I've felt in terms of viruses LB was the Swine Flu. I can remember shaking like I never had with a flu virus before, and it seemed to last longer. I had Mumps when I was 20, that felt like an average flu. I didn't have any problems with the crown jewels thankfully which could have left me sterile.
We're lucky we aren't living a century ago with the likes of smallpox and TB.
