I believe it’s a real virus that isn’t the flu but I’ve had some really bad viruses before that took my taste and smell and had me bedridden for at least a week and not eating for weeks after. When I had mono it nearly killed me because I got so ill and lost 40 pounds in a month. I think Covid works harder to get around the immune system.
However all that said I’m pretty sure I had something that I’m 98% sure was Covid at the beginning of 2020. I can say I’ve never had congestion quite like that. It was like concrete in my sinuses and chest. Killer headaches the whole time. Body aches and total exhaustion. My boys had gotten sick first and ran fevers for over a week with bad congestion and headaches. The doctor said it was “an unspecified respiratory virus” that was going around. Started seeing the footage from Italy like 2 weeks later. When it kicked in here really big I was like “that sounds just like what we had in the middle of January…”
