So a little back story, we had to put my daughter in daycare a couple weeks ago and she got sick on her first week (runny nose, pretty persistent and raspy cough, no fever though). It’s pretty common for children to get sick like the first week of school/daycare, the problem is, in everyone’s mind no other sicknesses are prevalent, everything is Covid now. Well her cough and runny nose lasted about a week and a half. Still no fever. Well whatever she has she must’ve given to me. Now I have the same symptoms plus a few probably (because she can’t talk yet so we don’t know the full extent of her symptoms ). I have a cough (most of the time dry but sometimes with phlegm) sore-ish throat, runny nose, burning sinuses, slight pressure in chest (I think mostly from anxiety), slight headache, NO FEVER.
So my rational mind says just common cold, but since the media has been blasting us daily with propaganda about this thing my irrational thinking says it could be Covid. So it has me on edge a little. I’ve been sick before with the flu, common cold, bronchitis, etc. and this is how I’ve felt every other time being sick. I mean it’s a bit ridiculous to think that there’s zero other sickness out there, it all must be Covid now. It’s actually funny, I’ve heard one news segment saying how regular sicknesses aren’t around anymore because everyone is wearing masks and social distancing, but in the same segment said Covid numbers are on the rise because people aren’t social distancing or wearing masks. Who knows what to believe anymore. Just looking to get it off my chest I guess. Maybe someone has similar experiences. Either way hope everyone is staying safe out there.
