I had fever and chest congestion for three weeks in January. I was popping Mucinex and Sudafed like skittles. I really thought I had pneumonia. But my fever was never consistent and never really high, just 100 or so. So I drank green tea, bourbon, sat at home and rest, and got over it. I honestly really do think I had COVID-19 but I dunno. I never got tested.

February I had another flare up but only lasted for a few days and I didn't feel near as bad for that. Since then I've been fine.

I went to the doctor in January with a low grade fever, body aches, and a nagging cough. I tested negative for flu and the doc said I had some sort of virus and that he’d seen a bunch of people that week that had similar symptoms and tested negative for flu

It hung around about 5-7 days but I felt like shite.

I'm still fighting what I call a 'head cold'. Really, a sinus infection produced by Georgia pollen. Third year in a row.

Never happened to me prior (although I've lived in Georgia eight years, and for six or seven, between undergrad and work).

It's lasting longer this year, but then again, I've not gone to the doctor, and am fighting it without antibiotics or steroids.

I had the mild flu a few weeks ago. Had a fever of about 101.5, fever broke in less than 48 hours. Took tamiflu and OTC meds. Called in sick Friday, was back at work Monday and felt fine by Wednesday/Thursday. I think I got it from a client who came into a meeting sick. Was it corona? Who knows. Never went to the doctor for a flu test.
