COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]
I believe that my wife and I had contracted COVID a few weeks ago. I am on the mend, she is still somewhat sick. We've both been tested multiple times (with home test) and in all cases, the tests were negative.
Symptoms were very similar to when I had confirmed COVID (through PCR test at clinic). Some fatigue, upper respiratory issues like nasal congestion/drainage, chest tightness/feeling like I had to catch my breath constantly. Never really had a fever. Wife on the other hand has had a fever and > mild symptoms.
Would say that it was definitely not allergies or cold because it has been lingering for a few weeks now. No way is/was the flu.
We've both been vaxxed in addition to having COVID last year.
I am wondering if it was this new strain? Maybe because of the spike protein mutation, home tests are not reliable?
