I caught it last week and had a stuffed nose (not drippy) along with coughing for 3 nights straight and then yellow mucus discharge. It has been a week and a half and treating it with cough drops and ibuprofen has done the trick.
It feels like a some sort post nasal drip thingy.

Colds don't last for a week and a half, do they?

I mean, sure? Whenever I get a bad sinus infection/stuffy nose that shit lasts for like 3 weeks.

they can. i've had colds before with mild persistent symptoms that last a month. we're talking post nasal drip or something like that. if you've got a fever for a week then its probably not a cold or you're possibly developing a secondary infection.

And? You realize you can still get Covid, right?

doesn't really matter anyway, antigen test would be unlikely to catch it even if you did get covid. the minor case you'd get while vaccinated would be unlikely to generate enough antigen to be detectable.

Probably but like I said, it is something that I have noticed several people in the office (coughing and throat clearing).

could be a cold, could be allergies. mucus color doesn't really mean much. i can tell you that grass allergies have been kicking my ass for the last few weeks.

Maybe a sinus infection? That doesn't sound like any kind of flu to me. Honestly it sounds more like allergies and/or a sinus infection.

Probably.
Also, the past few weeks, I was getting out of the shower and immediately cooling down with the fan, even though it was mad hot. This happened during that heat wave.
