F'in Covid again, 2nd bout

[Eric the Half a Bee]

The randomness of it is the weirdest thing, affects everyone a bit differently. I’ve known people under 50 die and 90 year olds survive.

It sure is random.

Just over a week ago our young boy tested positive. We all isolated, expecting to catch it. We did. My wife and I had totally different symptoms yet we could only have caught it from our lad. I was rough for 3 days, in bed, just aching all over like the worst flu, but never had a cough. Mrs HaB had no aching or fever but a bad cough.

I haven't tested positive at all since the start, but I don't half feel rough at the moment and have done for weeks. Persistent cough, tight chest, cold symptoms etc
Is it possible to have long covid without actually ever testing positive?

I always think that Long Covid sounds like a village on the outskirts of Bristol.....

Weird thing we found is the whole time my eldest boy had symptoms (tummy, temperature etc) he kept testing negative. After 2 days we just thought he had a stomach bug and dismissed covid despite the fact 2 of his mates had just gone down with it. When he started to feel better after 3 days only then did he tested positive….then me the wife and his younger bro all came down with it about 4 days after him. So we had all been out and about thinking it was something else……
