    Just getting over it. Had a low grade fever (100-101) for about 2 weeks. Light coughing and lack of energy were my only other symptoms. I work from home and only missed one day when my fever spiked to 103.2 and I was too tired to do anything but sleep. But I was back at work the next day.

    I got sick a few weeks ago. Lasted about 10 days. I got tested but was negative. Wasn't anything more than a cold/flu.

    I have also been donating blood for 2 years. They do the antibodies testing for covid when I donate. Never had it.

    I am wondering why I have never had it...

    Glad you are OK.

    ***Would you say that if COVID wasnt a thing, this would have been no different than you catching the flu?

    For me, yes, but I know it affects people differently. I guess I should have mentioned in my previous post that I never went and got tested, so I'm not 100% sure I had it. I just know that I had low fever for about 2 weeks that I controlled with acetaminophen. Yesterday was the first day I didn't have to take it because I had no fever. I just assumed it was Covid because even with the worst flu, the longest I've ever had fever was like 5 days. I've also never gotten the flu when the temp has been above 80 degrees.

    Kinda hoping it was Covid so I have the antibodies.

    Go donate. You’ll known. Plus they can use that to treat people better than the vax

    It most likely was if your temp got that high. Mine got to 103.5. I got the monoclonal antibodies which helped knock my fever out. I was out of work for 2.5 weeks but didnt really feel myself until 3 weeks out. And I still have the damned cough due to my asthma issues

    I still have a light cough too. No other symptoms though.
