The weirdly varying body temperature bit is what most folks I know who were symptomatic had at one point. Not a typical cold or flu response.

Side note: Anytime the rest of my sense of smell wants to wake up would be nice. Sooner would be better.

I had all the COVID-19 symptoms including the weirdly varying body temperature, and I'm in NYC, but my Abbott test (taken 1.5 months after symptoms) came back negative. Who knows what's going on.

I have that pretty much every time I get the flu.
