Sunday night I was exhausted for no real reason and had the chills.
Monday I was achy and had a headache and a temperature of 102℉. I didn't have the cough, breathing issues, or taste and smell loss typical of COVID-19.
Tuesday I felt worse physically than on Monday but I no longer had a fever. The Wife stayed home from work out of an abundance of caution. I took two Covid tests - the first being the free Nebraska COVID-19 test that takes three to five days for results and the second was a rapid test. The rapid test came back negative so no COVID-19 for me.
Wednesday the Wife went back to work but I still feel crappy with body aches and lack of energy. My fever appears to have lasted only twenty-four hours.
I have no idea where I got what I got. I've only gone out when I was going shopping and I always have a mask on. Somewhere along the way a flu virus, or some other bug, managed to get by my defenses. In 2020, any sign of illness takes on whole new dimensions.
Be careful out there … and get a Flu shot.
