Not testing but is this likely to be Covid?

Yesterday - felt tired all day, sneezing, bit of a cough but not too bad (on and off)

last night - headache came on

overnight - awful nightmare (unusual for me)

this morning - god awful headache, so tired and lethargic I had to go and get a cool shower so I could wake up enough to do my errands. Headache has continued all day - totally unmotivated and tired - weird taste in my nose (?!) like the smell of a pulled Christmas cracker.

Tonight - breathless - have had to get my asthma inhaler out for the first time since summer. Legs are so weak I can barely get upstairs. Slight cough but nothing too bad.

Does this sound like the current strain of Covid? Am I likely to wake up tomorrow feeling like I’ve been run over by a train? (Flashbacks to my first Covid experience!)

Probably, although in our house we just say it's a virus now. Can't bear to relive those awful years again!

Could be Covid, could be a virus although Covid is twice as common as flu at present so more likely it's Covid. Because so many damn people don't care and are merrily spreading it about. I caught it on a flight at the end of Nov from the man seated next to me and it has taken until today to start feeling more human. Ruined my Christmas and New Year. Thanks a lot selfish spreaders! 😡

Maybe stop spreading your germs around running errands, regardless of what it is?
