My 15 yo son got Covid about three weeks ago, symptoms matched what the parent poster described, including feeling "wiped out". Oh wait, no he didn't. Testing all came back negative. Diagnosis from his pediatrician: common cold.
- gilbetron 5y agoAh, yeah, you're right. It was probably just the cold that myself, my son, and my wife got after being exposed to someone that had symptomatic, PCR tested Covid. I'm sure it was just a coincidence that we then all three tested positive for covid.
- josephcsible 5y agotechnothrasher wasn't doubting that you had COVID, but rather making the point that the common cold and COVID now have the same symptoms and severity, and that getting a test is now the only way to tell which one you have.
