I don't understand why when you say "I have covid" people want the proof that you have it and ask you "did you do the test ?". I personally think I got it twice and never did any test. Just had symptoms I never had before in the 2 waves we had in france, just after meeting persons who also got seek at the same time. This is enough coincidence for me to think I have covid.

I also think that this reasoning may be more accurate that the official not very accurate covid tests.

Doing this reasoning myself also saved me money and the 4h waiting queue to do the test (the last thing I want to do when I have fever).

On the other side, I know people who had symptoms, tested negative (and trusted the test) and still when out to meet (and maybe contaminate) friends or colleagues.

There has been 25 documented cases of COVID reinfection worldwide, so assuming you had it without actually doing tests is likely false. There are many diseases with similar symptoms in the upper respiratory system, and given no more than 25 people on earth have confirmed having it twice, unless you have positive tests Occam’s razor suggests otherwise.

Hope you’re feeling better!
