You had a flu.

[–]jet199Instigatrix 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Man flu.

[–]magnora7[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (14 children)

The main reason I knew it wasn't the flu was because it had the same symptom as the original and delta, a symptom which no flu has ever given me before... extreme fatigue and exhaustion upon standing and moving, for weeks after all the other symptoms had cleared up. Like if I was sitting I was 100% fine, but when I stood up to move and do stuff I would immediately feel absolutely exhausted and wrecked after the mildest of physical activities. Like I need a 30 minute sit after walking across the house. No flu or cold ever felt fine in one posture and then terrible in another posture. That was the telltale sign it was covid for me.

Also my friend who also got it and gave it to me tested positive for covid, for whatever that's worth. As did his friend who gave it to him (who also got over it in 3-4 days).

You had alpha and delta and omicron? Dude.

[–]magnora7[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Yup. Shit sucked. My immune system has never been very good.

I was considering going to the hospital for alpha in late Dec 2019, before covid was even a known thing. It was pretty bad. Delta was 50% as bad. And omicron was like 10% as bad.

I had alpha and delta. So far. I had the same experience as you on the first two. March/April 2020 I had alpha and it was very bad. A year later I got delta and it was very much like yours. Half as bad, maybe less than half. I certainly wasn't coughing my lungs out for 3 weeks. I am hoping to avoid omicron but it looks very widespread at this point.

That's one unsexy threesome.

So basically you had a bunch of colds over the last couple of years and you're getting older as far as symptoms go.

~I don't believe that the big bad virus is real, so I'm going to shit talk the admin of this forum that I use in hopes to get validating funny boy points

Lets not project your extreme childishness onto real people.

extreme fatigue and exhaustion upon standing and moving

Thats what my brother in law had too! He said the exact same thing about not moving. As soon as he tried to do stuff it was like he had run a marathon

[–]magnora7[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Yes exactly. It was very very odd feeling. I would feel completely fine for hours sitting, and then doing literally anything would give that "I just ran a marathon" feeling. That lasted on and off for 6 months, and thankfully it went away after one dose of Ivermectin.

Flu varies from year to year. Flus give fatigue dependibg on your immune system's consistency, diet and even mental wellbeing (stress promotes oxidation, which depletes your immune response)

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Yes flus vary, but when all the symptoms uniquely match with covid and the people who gave it to me tested positive, it's probably covid.

[–]Rah 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Where is the isolated sample then.

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

They had the entire DNA sequence of the virus in 2020 already, so clearly it's been isolated... https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/01/200131114748.htm

They had to isolate it to make it in the lab. It started out as isolated.

[–]Rah 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Viral sequence isolation is different than isolating the virus
