I literally had all the symptoms, figured it was a really bad cold or light flu, even with the flu vax. My doctor said to come in if my fever went over 101 or if my bronchitis got worse (I have asthma). I stayed home from work for a week, because I am lucky enough to have very generous sick and annual leave. Still have gunk in my lungs.

I am pretty positive I caught it at Disney.

Did I have Covid-19? Probably not, but maybe, right? Who knows. I hit all the symptoms, it sucked, and I am still not 100% after a month.
