Is it possible to test positive for both Covid-19 and a flu strain?
I tested positive for Flu B around a month and a half ago after having to take a friend to the ER. I had all the normal flu symptoms: a high fever, aches, sore throat that felt like glass, and a mostly dry cough so bad I couldn’t catch my breath and would leave me gasping for air. Now I’m wondering if I was possibly infected with both?
*Edited to add I also experienced a mild loss of my ability to taste anything except for sweet. Even salt had no real taste at the time.
