Started getting a sore throat yesterday, today got a headache, sore throat, body aches and just starting getting chills.
I haven't gotten a cold in a long time and it's weird because its been warm here.

Not worried for myself, worried if I have it and spread it to my elderly parents.
Any illness spread to elderly parents is bad, covid, flu, cold, any viral infection. If you are sick stay away from them.
As others have mentioned, the treatment is the same (Vitamin D, C, Zinc, and Ivermectin). As I am suggesting, the solution for your parents is the same (stay away from them). It thus becomes irrelevant if you have Covid or not, as both the solution for your elderly parents and for yourself are the same.
Having said that, I had Covid last week. It hit me harder than it hit my wife (she took the test and was positive), but after a week I am 95% better. My sense of smell however is all sorts of fucked up atm. Covid is unique in that it attacks specific cells of the body, including the olfactory system. If you really want to know if you have Covid, pay attention to what your body is telling you.
Ok thanks. Haven't lost smell / taste yet. So hopefully it's just a regular cold/flu.
Colds and flu's can make you lose taste and smell, too. Something that's happened for years but nobody really cared about, until the MSM told us that symptom was unique to Chyna virus. <eyeroll>
Sauce on standby...
I didn't "lose" my sense of taste and smell. I agree, that has happened before with other colds. In this case my sense of smell is wrong. Everything is wrong. It's equivalent to walking around with red sunglasses on. In that case everything looks wrong, until you take the sunglasses off. I can't take the "sunglasses" off my nose.
Today I wanted to clean out the fridge because everything smelled wrong. Then I realized I can't clean out the fridge because everything smells wrong. Based on my current nose, the only solution is to throw out every single thing in the fridge. It's all wrong!
It is quite disorienting.
I didn't notice a drastic change in my sense of smell until several days after initial symptoms (after I was already "getting better").
Ah, ok thank you!
It's a cold or flu, do what you would normally do if you got sick. Don't be hugging and kissing on your parents until you feel better. Take some cold/flu meds or some ivermectin, vitamins (quercetin, zinc, vitamins D3 & C).
Did you have to ask for advice on what to do when you thought you had the flu back in the day?
No?
Then do the same today.
How would a test change anything? You're ok with giving them anything other than covid?
