Auld Foccers Weekly Covid Check in Page.

Anyway, got my Covid 19 test results back and it was negative  . But what bug did I have then?
Had dry cough, headache, muscle and joint pain and temp was 37.8, ( not sure how accurate thermometer is though ) , all meant to be symptoms of Covid 19.
Wonder how many people have had those symptoms,  thought they had Covid 19 but haven't ?

Good news :thumbup .  Most likely culprit is the flu.  More good news is your are talking in the past tense. 

Here’s a thought.  Many (untested) people who say they have had Covid19 may have had the flu.  Most people who say they have the flu have a cold.  The last time I had the flu it scared the shit out of me and I now take a flu jab every year.

I also thought I'd had the flu a few times in the past until I got it 2 years ago,I couldn't believe how bad I felt,I actually thought I had pneumonia! at times I swear you could ring the sheets out and next minute you were freezing cold and so weak I couldn't get out of bed.When the quack said I'd had the flu I didn't believe him,I never thought it was that bad and obviously never had it before.I also have the flu jab now,never want that again. :eek
