We focus so much on Covid that we tend to forget…maybe it’s just this year’s flu bug.
That's the problem, it could be either/or. In a way, I'm almost hoping it is covid, just so I can say that I finally got it.

Be careful for what you wish for. I know many people who feel the same way, but recall that COVID-19 may be associated with persistent effects. I know there's a prevailing opinion that everyone will get it regardless, but even if that's so, any illness that may require hospitalization would be best to avoid for now, if possible. As mentioned, you may have influenza, but unfortunately confirmation requires testing not available at home...yet.That's the problem, it could be either/or.

At least we now have easy testing so we'll know.We focus so much on Covid that we tend to forget…maybe it’s just this year’s flu bug.
Yeah, my brother was the same way about wanting to get it over with and he's still paying the price weeks later, a lot of people end up with long haul effects. He had both shots but refused the booster.Be careful for what you wish for. I know many people who feel the same way, but recall that COVID-19 may be associated with persistent effects.

It sounds odds, but I wanted to be positive too. My theory is, if I'm feeling a little under the weather and it turns out I'm positive, then I'm not likely to be hit hard. I get to be one of those who say "It was no big deal, like having a small cold".
But since I came back negative, then it's still a big unknown. If I were to get it, I most likely would be just fine. I have all three shots and am generally a super healthy person. But I don't KNOW that until it happens. I could be one of the tiny percentage that gets hospitalized or even dies.
There is an increasing body of research showing that even patients with mild COVID-19-related symptoms may have significant persistent effects, and at least one lab study showed neurological damage. The trope that COVID is almost always mild and therefore not a concern isn't supported by the data. It's still unclear to what extent vaccination mitigates the risk, however.This is exactly my thoughts on the matter.

You should plan ahead better, next time.Eh, I’ve had brain damage since I tried holding my breath for 15 minutes back in 2nd grade. A little more brain damage isn’t all that open the door at the end of the hall, then take the first right. You’ll find the oven behind the shelf.

My nose has been running for at least 6 weeks, which kinda just feels like winter to me. I’m out on the slopes a lot, which tends to cause that. It’s intermittent though.I went in for an official covid test yesterday, mostly out of a sense of curiosity. I've felt fine for a couple of days now.
...except that my nose won't stop running.
Maybe some allergies? I know a lot people say they don't have them, but they can develop over time (where previously, you seemed to have none).
