How do you define what you have as Covid? The PCR tests are bunkum or worse.
It does have the characteristics of a bad cold, yet each if the four times I’ve experienced altered taste and stomach problems which would not be typical of a traditional head cold. You might ask if it could be influenza but flu at this latitude in the middle of summer is unknown, unless someone brings it back from the southern hemisphere. This is the second infection I’ve had mid-simmer. Also, each of these cases has been accompanied by oddball cranial nerve things besides the taste disruption that you wouldn’t see in a cold. I have never replied on the PCR tests but look at the symptoms for diagnosis.
