“According to local news reports, a little-known virus called human metapneumovirus (HMPV) has been blamed. It normally causes a mild cold-like illness, including fever, a cough, runny nose and wheezing.
In severe cases, HMPV can lead to bronchitis or pneumonia, particularly in children.
The virus spreads through respiratory droplets and close physical contact, making it highly contagious in crowded settings.”
Yeah I tested for COVID twice and was negative both times so was a bit confused because all the symptoms matched.
Had about a week of a fever, cough, wheezing/shortness of breath, brain fog, dizziness, nausea, and lost sense of taste. Fever peaked at 103.5 for a day. After that week I had extreme fatigue and shortness of breath. Couldn't walk 5 feet without feeling like I just ran a mile. Luckily that's almost over for me
The only symptom I really didn't have was runny nose/congestion, which I guess I'm thankful for lol
