Reply to comment by Where-is-J in Which Virus Is It This Time? New Yorkers Are Sick of Being Sick. by WVOQuineMegaFan

Did you get tested for the flu? I had my flu shot in early October then got sick the first weekend in November. Home tested for covid a couple times and got progressively worse (started as a dry cough) so went to the doctoe that Monday. Turned out to have the flu, strain A. It was pretty rough, sickest I've been in a while (worse for me than covid last winter).

Sorry to hear that, hope you’re feeling better. Yeah, the doctors did test and it was negative, same as Strep test. Got my flu shot too couple weeks before I got sick. I got sick right before Thanksgiving and it was rough since the worst of it lasted 2.5wks overall. I normally don’t get sick often (every 2-3yrs or so) and when I do it’s not great but this one was a strange since it was an unusually long time as I typically bounce back 5-7 days after the initial set of symptoms.
