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).

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)

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.

Where is the isolated sample then.

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.

Viral sequence isolation is different than isolating the virus
