The schools I’ve been working with have been getting clapped with a sickness that has all the symptoms of covid, but people do not test positive. Perhaps covid isn’t running amok, just some nasty flu-variant

Back in the fall they were predicting a trifecta - a combination of Covid, flu, and RSV. People have been saying for years that "Covid is just like the flu", which it isn't, but there are similarities in the symptoms. Maybe this time it's the flu instead of Covid. Which reminds me, my wife and I were visiting the grandkids and got sick after we got back. We tested negative Tuesday morning and should probably test again. I don't think it's anything significant, just part of the childhood germ factory cycle.

Childhood germ factory combined with years of mask use, sanitization and remote learning limiting overall exposure to germs playing a role, possibly? Not saying remote should not have happened, just that this shit is a possible consequence.

Yep, test again and get well!
