After 12 days of COVID, I just tested negative !!! If I test negative on Monday, I can return to work.
2 nights of chills
3 days of constant fever
10 days of stomach issues
7 days with no sense of smell (and counting)
4 days of congestion
2 days of coughing (still mild coughing)
13 days of yo-yo temperatures with 101.1 being the most recent last night and a peak of around 102.4 a couple days ago.
I woke up this morning and I knew something flipped. I knew there was a change even though I still felt very fatigued. I arranged to go get tested and found out a short time ago it was negative.
My summary:
The flu = Hitting your thumb with a hammer
Covid = Having your thumb caught in vice grips for two weeks
Hard to say which is actually worse. I equate Covid to someone with their finger and inch from your face saying "I'm not touching you" endlessy 24/7 for two weeks.
