I am beginning to suspect that my parents have Covid. But they won’t buy tests! They insist it’s the flu, but aren’t the symptoms the same at this point?

If they do have it, this is the confirmation I needed that I’m one of the minority who can’t get it.

Finally convinced my dad to take one and it’s negative. So maybe it is the flu!

@lirazel from what I've been hearing, false negative rates with rapid tests for current major variants is pretty high, so still probably safest to proceed as if it could be covid unforch :(

@lirazel @roland the flu (and RSV) can also be very serious, and the methods for reducing contagion are about the same for both so even if its *definitely* not covid, proceeding as if its covid is a very smart call imo
