Flu and Covid are pretty similar fyi, people just underestimate the flu.
- Rendello 2y agoThe flu left me sick for three years as a young teenager. At a certain point I just assumed I wouldn't get better, luckily I did though.
- Krssst 2y agoBut most people don't catch the flu once a year, while catching covid once a year isn't unexpected.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoHow many times have you had the flu?
- aeonik 2y agoProbably 3, definitely once. I've had Covid 5 times (I'm vaccinated, though I got the alpha variant before vaccines). The first flu I got almost made me fail freshman year of high school. Fever and aches lasted for 5 days. The first Covid I had was nearly as bad, but the worst it was over in 2-3 days compared to that flu strain that I got. Covid leftover symptoms dragged on for a few weeks. I also got the fatigue people were talking about, but I can't decouple those symptoms from the isolation, then I had a kid right after too.
