    Me neither, but I’m honestly not sure. I got sick a month or two ago, mostly just felt like aches and fatigue, pretty much no respiratory element at all. Except I lost 80%-ish of my sense of smell and taste until earlier this week (if it’s even fully recovered, I’m honestly not sure).

    Was that COVID? I didn’t test positive for it, but maybe I waited too long to think to do it. I wish I knew for sure.

      I have heard that the newer strains don’t show up on the tests, depending on the test. I got it recently, tested negative but it was my second time so I could recognize it and be fairly certain.

      What kind of test did you use? The rapid tests are not always very accurate. A negative result might not mean that you do not have it. And yes, the time of taking the test / day of infection does make a difference. The loss of smell and taste does sound like it might have been covid.
