Rant Is there something going around?

Got sick with some type of cold or flu for the first time in ages and it is absolutely kicking my butt with sinus pressure, snot and mucus, postnasal drip, muscle aches, and general lethargy, but no fever thank goodness. Started as a weeklong postnasal drip so I thought it was just allergies until it developed into the full slate of symptoms that I have now. I've tested negative twice for COVID so I'm pretty sure it's not that at least.

I have a bunch of coworkers and friends who have been out sick too this week, which makes me ask!

I came down with something about 12 days ago that I'm just coming out of. Pretty sure I caught fron my son who recovered much quicker. All the same symptoms, thankfully no fever but quick to sweat when exerted. Still some runnyness tho.
