There's something going around this area right now that doesn't go down in your lungs, just inflames the upper part of your bronchial tubes enough that you get bronchitis from it. It doesn't test positive for COVID because everyone, including myself, who has had it tests over and over and consistently comes up negative. Your lungs will sound clear to any doctor, but you can't breathe and any little thing that causes you to draw a deep breath will set you off with a coughing fit. You may or may not cough up a gob of crud with it.
It's nasty because that's the only symptom - no fever, no chills, no nasal congestion ... So you really can't tell if you're actually sick or not because it's off and on how much you can or can't breathe. I fought it for three weeks before hitting the doctor, and there's a gal in our training group fighting it now and she sounds exactly like I did.
I *finally* stopped coughing all the time.
