When I'm in Birmingham next week I plan on asking the drs, nurses and healthcare admins that I see their opinion.
Recently, Opthamologists have been warmed that as people show up at their office with Conjunctivitis (pinkeye) to be vigilant of the possibility of it being a symptom of Covid 19. I am aware that Conjunctivitis can sometimes accompany other respiratory viruses but I've had a number over the years and never had pinkeye. I got very sick in Nov. (much as you described...but not the flu) and it was accompanied by pinkeye. If you read this...throw this in the mix.
