Quoted from Md2020:

So...............
does or does not the OP have the Coronavirus?
Is the OP still amongst us? Is he in quarantine? If so, do they not allow internet in quarantine?
Inquiring minds want to know.
As a side note, I wouldn’t entirely blame the guy for not resolving seeing as how quickly this thread went t*** up when the political discourse and anger set in. It’s just what happens on the internet.
All the same- May you have a speedy recovery, OP.

Quoted from Whysnow:

Keep in mind that the flu strain making it around this year is very bad also which will add to the confusion. Based on your local and timing, it is most likely you had the flu.
Keep in mind that the longer you go without the flu just means you are likely to get it and it will be worse when it does come.
If it does not evolve too much then hopefully it will be more mild the next time you see it.
Glad you are better now, but dont assume you had Covid. Better to still have best practices to avoid it as you are likely still recoving from what you had last month.

Quoted from Tubes:

I could pull herpes zoster out of your nose if I went up far enough, does that really prove that you were infected with the strain or just that it was in your nostrils? Or was it there in sufficient amounts to indicate infection? Everyone always says that reduced immune system leads to worse corona, not sure how this means one can't catch the 'rona after catching the flu.

Quoted from Methos:

Did you get the flu shot, and if so when?

Quoted from Tubes:

Influenza A and B, as well as coronaviri like SARS-1, SARS-2, and MERS, can cause viral pneumonia, so no infection plus X-rays showing a little something suggests you dodged the virus turning into the viral pneumonia. People seem to be focusing on the runny nose, but the nausea and digestive issues are more of a flu thing while the lung focus is the real deal in a coronavirus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). There was no test to see if SARS-CoV-2 was up your nose, unfortunately, available at the time. So go with your "gut", or with your lungs if they were the main problem. You could have been fighting off the Victoria strain while succumbing to the SARS.
This exact virus was passed to a trusted nurse who diagnosed it as "definitely not the flu". That's Karl Pilkington / Black Mirror level accuracy, where the medical professional feels the illness first-person.

Quoted from Tubes:

Well 58% of cases this year have been B, 42% A, and of the B cases, 98% have been the Victoria subtype. They put B-Victoria in the trivirulent vaccine as well as the quadravirulent. Your doctor was going on old news, B is the big flu this season, and it's hitting children extra hard. Doesn't sound like it's been hitting adults with 3-week nasties so much though.
It tends to play a leapfrog game with the vaccines, so we're always getting the strain that wasn't "popular" when they design the next batches.
Here's Newsweek with a quick breakdown on what influenza B feels like: "The symptoms for influenza B (like other flu strains) include: fatigue; cough; fever (or chills); a sore throat; runny nose; muscle ache; headache; and gastrointestinal problems.
According to some research, the B virus might be more likely to involve headache, abdominal pain and myalgia (i.e. muscle pain) than other types."
