Her story sounds a lot like mine, except for getting the test and contact with others who tested positive.
Buried within the article is information I hadn't been able to find. The standard flu test will NOT come back positive if you have COVID-19.
Like her, I got the flu shot and tested negative for the flu when I got symptoms. Multiple relapses over many weeks has been happening here and it's been happening since just before Christmas.
Odds are that it's just allergies/colds, but I'm suspicious that this is very widespread and all we/re getting is skewed stats because only the sickest people are hospitalized and die. But if you understand the stats, it means the death rate is inflated and communicability is underestimated because of the skewed sample.

Good comment. You should get tested. Take care of yourself.
I think I'm over it now. I've made it past 4 days with no hew symptoms.
That's great to hear!
