Same here. Had a fucked up cold/flu a couple months ago, put me down a few days, high fever and achey joints. Tested Covid negative; I assume it was flu. Was my first time ever testing, and tested negative, nobody really believed me because I'm a vocal skeptic and was seriously very sick.
I guess i could have had it before, but I don't really consider colds. You feel a little less good than usual for a few days and then you feel normal.
Reminds me a bit of how we name weather now. All weather. Used to just be hurricanes and we named them and people got worked up. Now we name snowstorms and forest fires. It's like naming it gives it power, makes it more real, more a threat. Coronaviruses are one of the common colds, and until we gave this one a special name it was a common cold and you eat chicken soup and you're good in a few days.
Next time take Zinc and Quercetin the second you get symptoms. It knocks out the flu, Covid, and most common colds if taken early. It stops RNA viruses from replicating so your immune system has a long time to react and knock them out.
I take that and more as a daily regimen, a couple of times i might get a blocked nostril for a day or four and thats it - and i'm likely getting it from my sons being around other snotty nosed kids at school all day.
You have to watch Zinc. You can overdose on it. It's not meant to be taken daily in large amounts. I would look into that if I were you and make sure you aren't taking a huge dose as a daily vitamin.
