My experience was similar, in terms of it coming on suddenly. I knew I had it since it was similar to my husband's case. Also, the symptoms were ones I don't generally have. I do suffer from seasonal allergies, but they affect me differently.

Yea, I think if two tests showed it positive and your symptoms look/feel like covid, you surely definitely have it. I think in the end, most people will have had covid at some point or other. At least now they have better medications to calm it and the hospitals aren't packed to the hilt.
