Cold/Flu/Sore Throat/Covid Check In

You are late. We did that in January.

Anyone else lying in bed with a low fever, cough, sore throat, and mild headache instead of going to work?

---

Just getting over it. Tested negative for everything. Worst part was fatigue on days 2-3. Never been that tired. Had COVID twice; neither time wiped me out like this did.

Ziccam gummies and get to work!!!

Started feeling a little bad 1/17. Nothing major, just enough to know something was up. Went to work 1/19 to start a stretch of three 12’s. Did a Covid swab 1/20, negative.
Did another one 1/21 before going into work, again negative. All throughout 1/21 started feeling worse, I work in an ICU and most of my co workers were feeling iffy. My wife called our family MD, had some virus swabs delivered to the house, we both tested + for Flu A.
Just now getting the cough/congestion and body aches to all go away.

Had a 103 fever last week but only real symptoms were chills, headache, and fatigue

It is winter, lots of people are sick

Yeah, I’m on day 4 of what feels like a bad sinus infection. It dropped into my lungs and has affected my breathing overnight. Sore throat, coughing, ears popping etc but no fever or runny nose. Everyone around me has been sick for weeks and I finally get a little of the crud.

I don't understand why are people still getting tested for COVID when the treatments for COVID and the Flu are the same?

Sure, but you can still test negative for the flu and have COVID.

So you brought the flu into an ICU for three days...

Thanks for your service?

I never get sick
