I would recommend against using personal anecdotes to get a sense of the commonality in the general population. But it can give us a bit of a sense of the overhyping I suppose. I myself, as a COVID research scientist I work with patients often. As such I get it often. I have had it a total of 7 PCR confirmed times so far. Of those times only 1 of them did I even get symptoms where I would have known I had the disease at all. I have no post-covid symptoms.

Part of the problem is that the data is very skewed and hard to reconcile. The people who actually wind up in studies tend to be a very very small portion of the people who actually get COVID, in fact most people who get COVID will never even know they had it.
