A few weeks ago, my daughter started sniffling. The next day she started coughing. Her doctor declared this to be a sinus infection and bronchitis.
2 days later, my wife and I both got the snifles as well. Followed by sinus infections and bronchitis.
My daughter's work, and my work, both have mandatory negative covid test requirements (she works with the public, I often travel out of state to customer shops for weeks at a time.)
Our daughter tested positive, my wife and I tested negative. 2 days later I wasn't any better (forced mask at work as we had a customer team from Mexico on-site, no surprise my sinus infection was getting worse) so work sent me for another test. This time I tested positive, so did my wife. Mandatory 10 days off work for me, 2 weeks for my daughter and wife.
For a week straight, we all spent 90% of our time lying down and feeling completely worn out. No fever, no loss of taste or smell, just a dry cough, constant sweating (Jesus the sweating was gross,) a massive non-stop headache, and fatigue. Major fatigue. As in "I took a shower now I have to take a 2 hour nap to recover."
After a week, our daughter started feeling better. Well, less worse anyway. 2 days later, my wife and I both started feeling less worse as well. After the mandatory 10 days, we all tested negative and are all back to work.
As of this morning, we are all at 90% or so, the fatigue is still there but getting better.
None of us went to the er, none of us died.
We had the flu and got better.
Shout out to vitamin C and Zinc and copious amounts of water.
