Covid sucks!
4 years ago
I spent the last week at home in bed under the covers with covid. It was NOT fun. Hit be so fast it made my head spin. In the course of 3 hours I went from feeling normal to having a fever of 101 deg and shivvering in bed with three blankets on even though I was sweating so bad I could have used a towel to soak up all the sweat.
After two full days of that, it started to go away. Got to the dr and they confirmed the diagnosis and gave me the paperwork I needed for work. The govt says after 5 days you can return to work... I say bullshit... i'm on day 7 now and I still am coughing and sluggish from exhaustion but I am improving.
I should be OK in a couple more days but i'm not rushing it.

You have symptoms. The 5 day rule does not apply.
Hope you feel better very soon, but like someone else said, don't rush it. Your body still needs to recover.
