Similar for me (except I had vaccines for covid and flu). Even have been in prolonged contact (in one household) with people that had covid.I used to be sick with flu almost every year before (but I did not had vaccine against flu before).
Did you get ill between these two states? COVID perhaps?
I haven't had a cold or flu since Covid, either. This is probably the longest I've ever gone without one, usually I'd get one every couple of years or so.
Disease seems like most likely culprit to me. Even if it's not Covid. Could be another virus.
Looks like you got COVID-19 as a child a few times mate
I haven't had cold, flu or COVID since 2018.I'm just introverted and don't have kids.
For me it wasnt even a cold, i had no symptomps whatsoever
Just anecdotally, my family and some friends both got pretty bad flus this January. I mean, not sure it was flu, wasn’t covid, but mild to moderate respiratory symptoms with lots of fatigue, coughing and sneezing for like 2 and a half weeks. No fever.
No offence, and your attitude is what we need, but what are you sure it was covid. Perhaps it was flu. Saying it was a few days doesn't fit with what I've heard other people who've had covid.
I keep hearing this. I also had the worst cold in 10 years easily, this january. My kids were unaffected but me and the wife had 40 deg fevers and muscle pains for days. The whole family took the seasonal flu vaccine (not sure if it was the correct one this year).What seems to indicate that it wasn't Covid was that at the same time as all of us had that monster flu in january, the hospitals weren't filling up with people who couldn't breathe.
