- woke up with chills and exhaustion.
- took a nap - rare for me.
- woke up with a 103 fever. Rare for me.
- Tried Motrin, did nothing, usually knocks a fever down.
- fever went down over three days, cough started up.
- cough was bad. Had issues sleeping.
- cough lasted for 5 or 6 days.
I happened to go to the doctor during it... and my doctor was so freaked by my cough she sent me down for a chest xray, but I was fine.
I recovered in about 7 to 10 days.
But I had lingering symptoms, weirdly back pain for two months. I never have that problem.

The liberals don't want to treat *covid* as the flu, but when someone HAD covid -- they have to insist it is the flu.
I am completely immune to flu. I haven't had the flu pretty much ever in my life and colds are rare. To be so sick just a few weeks before the "outbreak" which scientists have said was much later than when it actually came... I know it was covid.
Our employee (early 30's) currently has Covid and we are getting daily updates. He is in his early 30’s. About 10 days ago he came into work and seemed fine. He called my husband late in the morning and said he was headed home because he felt awful. He had appeared and acted so well in the morning that my husband kind of wondered if he really was feeling that bad or there was another reason he needed to go home.
Day 2 he did not come to work and texted he was too sick with really bad body aches and severe headache, no fever.
Day 3 was the weekend. He spoke to DH Saturday night and sounded terrible. Severe chest congestion, weak voice but no fever. It was clear that simply talking on the phone was wearing him out.
Day 5 he said he was feeling a bit better, congestion was clearing but his wife, children and mother were sick. All had lost their sense of taste and smell. The mother went to the hospital and tested positive for Covid-19. She was sent home.
Day 6-8 he seemed to be improving and expected to be back at work this coming week.
Day 9 (yesterday) he developed a fever and again sounded congested (chest). He describes the symptoms as a roller coaster where you feel your energy returning and think you are getting better and then you’re feeling awful again.

How are you completely immune to the flu? I’m not saying that it couldn’t have been Covid, that’s possible but it sounds an awful lot like the flu and since you didn’t get tested, how do you know?

I literally never have it. EVER. I honestly have gone 10+ years with out flu symptoms. I have had colds but they don't involve a fever.
Highly unlikely I would just break out in the flu when I never have it normally. Don't get a flu shot either.
I know.
Why wouldn't it have been covid since it is the same symptoms AND it is during the time it was infecting the USA. The first known case here was in middle January.

We all have a 5% to 20% chance of getting the flu in any given year. It’s actually much more unusual to get it often then it is to not get it often. There are a lot of people who have made it well into adulthood without ever having it. There are even some who never get it. It doesn’t mean you’re totally immune though, it means you just didn’t get it.
I’ve had it twice ever in spite of also not getting flu shots. About ten years ago I was heavily exposed as I was taking care of family with the flu and kept waiting to get sick but never did.
It’s very possible you had the flu for the first time. The symptoms are an exact match. It is also possible you had covid.
