Or just a new beginning?
After two years of failed tests, with that terrible procedure of nostril rape (I wonder, why didn’t they use simple saliva samples from the mouth? It seems to work just as well, at least, it worked for the home self-test), I finally managed to test positive for “Covid”. This was two or three weeks ago — this despite the fact that masks are still mandatory in public transport, but didn’t seem to have done much.
Anyway, I made an amazing discovery — Covid is just the flu in reverse. Wait, hear me out, the Science supports me. The symptoms of the flu usually start with a running nose and cough, then evolve to fever and body pain. Well, corona is just the opposite. For the first three days, I had nothing but fever and body pain. In fact, it was remarkable mostly by the absence of symptoms. I had no cough, no sneezing, no sniffling. Just mild fever, a dry sore throat and body ache (back and legs mostly). An aspirin, or perhaps just time, took care of that in the third day. Then, for the next seven days, I no longer had any fever or pain, just a mild sore throat and then cough and a running nose. The sniffling was the last thing to go. Then I was “negative” again, after 8 days. So, basically — a flu with reversed symptoms.
