What were your first symptoms ? Within a 2 hr period last night I went from feeling good to having a cold . This morning woke up feeling like hell with a major sore throat. Seeing my doc at 2:30. Got a flu shot 3 weeks ago.

My wife deals with both at work and she says this year’s flu has been tougher for her patients. Glad I had the shot because I’m still trying to kick the effects of Covid and it doesn’t need help.

Thursday about lunch, got a dry cough that got progressively worse, that night started getting a fever and couldn't sleep. Chest pains too.
Friday was horrific. Slight fever, terrible headache, cough that made the headache 5x worse, overall weakness.
Saturday was the worst. Same stuff as above, but fever was worse, and muscle aches kicked in.
Yesterday the fever broke, headache subsided, but congestion kicked in and muscle aches were still there. Smell/taste are altered, but not gone.
Today it's a good bit better, but breathing is difficult and still feel weak. Hard to want to do anything.

No real sore throat or runny nose during any of it. From what I can tell, the telltale sign of the flu is the dry cough being the first symptom, so doesn't sound like you have it.

There was a time where comparing COVID to the flu meant you wanted grandmas to die.

I think did once make this comparison years ago and one lovely poster here asked me to write the names of four relatives I want to die.

Like any real man, I don't get sick.

Did you watch a replay of the Auburn game Wednesday night or Thursday morning? Just checking as it could cause some of the same symptoms.

Personally, I don't think there is a need to pick which illness is worse but certainly both can be milder for some people and more severe for some people. Personally, I won't minimize either considering I have preached the funerals of good friends who died of COVID and of course people die of the flu each year. I just don't see any purpose is debating which is worst. I pray you feel better soon.
