yes it can
but that does not mean it is the cause
( cd it be the Black Death? er well yes since I am in an agreeable mood but it is extremely unlikely)
Far more likely to be one of the new (non covid) viruses on their rounds
( lorra womoan's hour chit chat on this: People not socialising for two years: people over-socialising now. Covid immunosuppreses. Bad food. Too much food. too little and so on and so on)

//Yes. I'm a bit baffled by NJs feeling that you shouldn't test.//
Why would you? If you feel unwell to a degree that you don't want to go out, stay in. What benefit is there in testing for a single disease which is just one of a myriad that may be causing you to feel unwell? What advantage do you have if you discover you have Covid instead of "a bug that's going round"? What do you do when armed with that information that you wouldn't do without it?
If you feel so poorly you think you need medical advice, then seek it (and good luck with that). Please explain to me why you test yourself for Covid if you feel under the weather. Prior to the pandemic nobody tested themselves for a specific disease when they felt unwell. You either endured it or sought medical help. So what's different?

I had a very bad cold early on in December and it never entered my head that it was anything but a bad cold and I took all the necessary precautions such as staying in, keeping away from older people and taking as much medication as I could to get rid of it as quickly as I could. I never thought about testing for anything, surely when one has a bad cold or flu, you keep your germs to yourself anyway, or is it only covid that makes people act differently? Totally agree with NJ.
but there isnt a readily available test for flue, and the potential affects of covid can be alot greater so many want to know if they got it so they can avoid passing it on to them whose more vunerable... I wouldnt dream of visiting my elderley relatives if I knew I had covid, but might pop round for 5 mins too drop off shopping and say hello if I had a just runny nose
//I really don’t see why that creates a problem for anyone else.//
It doesn’t create a problem for me, naomi. I’m simply intrigued why anybody would want to do it.
I’ve had what was probably Covid at least once and probably twice. The first episode was very unpleasant – I’ve had (what I imagine was ) ‘flu just twice in my life and it was very similar to that. The second not quite so, worse than a cold, not as bad as ‘flu. But it never crossed my mind to take a Covid test. I’ve simply no idea what I would have done any differently had my illnesses had a label.

//Because they want to know what’s ailing them.//
But why?
Unless you seek medical advice you have no idea, other than your own intuition, how you should behave. Sufferers from 'flu generally behave no differently to those suffering from Covid. So what benefit is there to being told you have Covid?
//But you could have told everyone on AB, NJ.//
Of course, I'd forgotten that, nb !!! :-)
