You had a flu.

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).

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

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.
