CV and mad panic behaviour

[kruddler]

I'm not sure I'm convinced that the RAT tests are reliable.
Maybe they don't work as well with new variants.

I had a flu/head cold a few weeks back that seemed to be identical to my covid experience (fever, fatigue, cough, shortness of breath) yet I tested negative for the duration.
I still have the cough but it sometimes takes me weeks to get over that even with the flu and colds.

I'm sure there are many folks who don't experience more than the mild symptoms and don't even bother to test or isolate anymore.

I had similar concrens lods.

I went to the docs, whenever it was - a couple months ago?, after testing negative on a rats but still having 'something'.
Got some tests done, it was negative to the flu, negative for covid but positive to something else i'd never heard of before, but is basically the same as those 2.
There were times before that i thought i might've had covid, but always negative on the rats.

However, this time, my rats test showed up as positive in record time. Would've been less than 30 seconds and it was as clear as day.

I'm sure its possible that i have an older strain which shows up more easily, but more likely to be the latest one doing the rounds.
