Is the more likely scenario that you just had the seasonal Flu, or that there is a non detectable covid variant?

Summer isn't flu season.

Multiple medical professions felt it was covid and recommended testing.

Some of our symptoms weren't associated with flu, but were with covid.

There are some 20 tracked covid variants spreading in the USA right now.

Tracking of variants didn't begin until Dec. But even in the few months since they began tracking variant proportions, the dominant strains have shifted quite dramatically.

T his is not some wacky conspiracy. Given this evidence, my money is on it was a variant of covid not tested for. You might see things differently, and that's fine.

Okay, not Influenza, "flu", as in something that causes flu like symptoms. Quite a lot of virus can do that, as well as bacteria, allergies, etc.
