I'm bored of copy and pasting but this could literally go on all day.

she did not mean gone but highly unlikely to be a cold and much much more likely to be covid, so treat as covid. See what the doc above says.

Essentially she was saying "you are not a doctor, dont risk your family and others on thinking its a cold, you have never had covid before, err on the side of caution"
