Wait... how do you know it's COVID?

I mean, given how prevalent it is right now it certainly could be COVID, but to your own point, a rash isn't a particularly common symptom, in the ~15% range. Fever, chills, cough, night sweats, breathing problems. Could be any of a range of upper respiratory diseases. In any other year I'd say you have bronchitis - there's 3 million cases of that every year in the US too.

Feel better soon!
