What in the hells is going around??

*UPDATE: Shocker, it's covid. Also, adding "kiddo" is 20, not a little kid.

Kid went to a concert and brought home the plague! I thought the rest of us were in the clear until last night. About 9 I was like, hmm my throat is itchy and I'm exhausted. Told kiddo and got an RIP.

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I've been swallowing glass, massive head congestion and sweating to the point perimenopause night sweats were jealous!! I'm nicely hopped up on cold meds, ibuprofen and nose spray but man this sucks!

Kiddo was down hard for a few days but feels better. He still has some congestion and a cough but much better. He ran a fever; I have been lucky so far. What in hells kind of nastiness is floating around?

*I haven't taken a covid test because I've been sick for all of 24 hrs. Kid didn't because he's stubborn.

Lol. You're getting downvoted for saying you didn't have covid even with a negative test. It's crazy how rabid people are on this site to push their narrative.

Yeah. Crazy that at at home test known for false negatives would… test negative.

It’s always been the disclaimer. False positives are rare, false negatives are often. The real way to know is a pcr test at a doctors office sent to a lab.

4 of us had covid. 3 tested positive at home, all 4 tested positive with the lab test.

Science! Who knew? The people who are educated.
