36. I had a bad flu like symptoms in January 2020.

Wed Aug 24, 2022, 10:52 AM

Aug 2022

My husband also had it. We thought it could have been a early covid infection but since then have never tested positive for covid. We both wore our masks religiously and stayed out of huge crowds.

Our son who lives in a group home tested positive last month for covid and he said it was like a bad cold and he recovered quickly.
