I am reasonably sure that my family all had it back in the begining of 2020 - no tests were widely available at that point - I had a fever and headache.
My wife had the loss of taste / smell (she thought that out younger daughter had stopped smoking!) as well as the fever. Our elder daughter was asymptomatic but had what is called "Covid toe" - looks like chilblains initially but occurs in warm weather. My son had a "spike" fever that is typical of a teenager - high temperature but it lasted just a couple of hours. Our younger daughter appears to have dodged it which is good as she is classed as clinically extremely vulnerable.
My father in law is still in hospital with covid but seems to be getting better.
