Over 90% of those deaths are Americans.

      did you have any other symptoms. usually coughs dont last that long. could be bronchitis from cold, flu. i had covid last year and it cause really nasty symptoms. funny thing is the covid dint really cause alot of coughing per se, as it resulted in so much sputum from the lungs it irrittated me to cough instead.

      I’m in the same situation. But my test was negative. Is there any way you can get another self-test?

        This year I had a nasty cough for 5 weeks. It was HMPV. Never knew such thing even existed before taking the test.

        Check if you can get a pack of multpile tests. I was able to get one that checks for covid, flu and hmpv.

        Couldn’t find the one I’ve used, but just discovered that Boiron, the fake pharma company, is making covid tests as well. We’re doomed.

          I’d rather not order from amazon. I had to order from aliexpress once, because there was literallly no other place to order a three-way cord switch. Got bombarded with spam for weeks. Amazon is equally vile as aliexpress imo. I’ll check my local drug stores first.
