If at any time of year all colds and flu were gone then colds and flu wouldn't exist. Far fewer people gets colds and flu in summer but stating that they are "gone" is just flat out false. And that's not to mention the number of people who will be starting up with cough/sniffles/sore throat in April and May due to grass pollen allergy.

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

In as basic terms as possible;

Symptoms but no test = act like you currently have Covid, whilst remembering that you probably DON'T have Covid.

Has anyone assumed having Covid-19 means you'll be immune afterwards? All I've heard, over and over, is they don't know whether you're immune once you've had it.

There is very strong evidence that recovered infected have immunity, has been for the last few weeks (now that there are are a large number of recovered). Some total immunity, some partial (reinfection is milder). They're even talking about the possibility of using the blood plasma of recovered patients to treat active cases.

Not yet, thankfully. Scratchy throat yesterday but I was shovelling garden waste and think some grass dust got into my mouth.

glad you are starting to feel better

Btw I didn't even mention in the OP that my aunt & uncle have been sick for like a week but they went to get tested & my uncle got the call back today that he does have COVID-19. Not hospitalized tho and hopefully won't need to be.

Feel like that probably means I do indeed have it as well but I'm actually starting to feel a lot better today aside from cough remaining & having back aches (which I heard can be a corona symptom but idk)

Also, my dad has a really high fever today so I doubt it's coincidence. Says he feels fine though aside from a cough and isn't sure about going to the doctor/hospital. Bit worrying though, hope nothing gets serious for anyone.
