Stomach Virus vs Flu vs Covid: How to Tell?

Is there an easy way to tell between the 3? Curious if anyone here with covid has had vomiting as a symptom?
Felt great this morning but around 11:30am started to get an upset stomach and by noon began throwing up. Feel like absolute shite now, legs and arms have the chills/feel like they fell asleep. I've taken a shower and a bath over last few hours to try and get warm. Don't know about a fever (friend is bringing over a thermometer soon), but all i know is if they stuck a qtip up my nose for a covid test I'd throw up in the doctors office. Still have my sense of smell and no respiratory issues which is leaning me towards not covid and likely a stomach virus. Thanks y'all

Sounds like the Stomach virus or Flu not Covid.

A fair amount of people actually only get stomach issues.
Realistically the treatment is going to be the same no matter what. It's a fricking virus deal with it.

If you have any liquor in your house, pour a shot if you can smell it, your probably don't have Covid.

Please don’t die.

What difference does it make? Stay home until you feel well
There is no cure for any of that shite.let it run its course

Go get checked. Flu antivirals are the shite.
Stomach bugs are the shits. Good luck.

So your link provides no value unfortunately
Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea No (Allergies) Sometimes (Cold) Sometimes (Flu) Sometimes (Covid)
I know I don't have allergies at least

My plan is to stay home like most normal people when they get sick, at least until I feel better.

Good question. I more so just don't want other people getting sick with whatever this is, but I'm hoping I wake up tomorrow feeling better and can work mid to late week.

Rule number one: always assume it’s Covid per Dr Fauci

Technically the flu is deadlier. Hopefully this baw only has Covid.

It’s very rare to throw up with the flu or covid
You likely have a stomach virus

Yeah, that was part of the issue with me as well. Especially when you don't get much of a fever.

No matter what you have, I hope it clears up quickly and easily for you.

Then you do not have Covid. If you had Covid you would have to stay home 14 days, 11 more than your actual sick time. And everyone in your house has to do the same even if they are negative for Covid. The guidelines are ridiculous.
