Is it covid?

Or am I just forgetting what a bad cold feels like? I feel bunged up, sinusey, taste & smell have gone and I'm beyond shattered. I've come home from work which I wouldn't generally do with a cold. Lots of people at work are or have been ill too.
(I know I could do a covid test and I might do.)

I've had a particularly nasty cold type bug. On week 4 now. Just a lingering cough now though.

the fatigue was brutal though.

dont know if it was covid or not. Treated it as I normally would, with extra rest this time due to the level of fatigue I felt

It's draining isn't it. Did you take time off work?

It’s not “back”. It didn’t go anywhere in the first place.

I'm fairly sure I have Covid - we scattered my aunt's ashes a couple of weekends ago and one of group is a midwife and tested positive a few days later. Awful sore throat - feels like acid burn - pulsing headache, crazy fatigue, high temperature, and sleep just doesn't recharge enough. I think I am coming out the other side, it's been just over a week and I haven't seen in a soul in that time for obvious reasons although I haven't tested myself. The fatigue bit has been the worst - it's like being stuck to the bed with an anvil pinning you down.
