Had covid in January of this year... I am dealing with it now. This strain is different, at least for me. No fever, but an inside out fever, where your body becomes frozen and then so hot you are drenched in sweat and the worst headache I have ever had, with a bad dry cough.

I don't recall ever having the "regular flu" since I was 16. The odd time since then , the odd cold.. but what ever this is, is not a cold or the "regular" flu.
