Have had mild runny nose cough and congestion for several days but starting last night my taste and smell went away. Can only taste/smell like 1 on a scale of 10. I

read a regular cold can cause this but I've never had it happen before. Waiting for PCR results but what are the chances it's just due to regular cold and stuffed up nose?

Lots of false negatives with the rapid test, especially early on when viral loads are low. Google it. Plenty of stories.

Rapid test or at home test? At home you really need to be sick for it to work. The rapid tests are a little better, but still not great if you aren't really oozing snot. PCR will be the best.

But allergies & cold can do it too.

Very likely you have the rona. Pump the vitamin D. Zinc. And green tea.

Wear a mask? Aren't they vaccinated?

Do you ask everyone who you see posting about getting tested this same question? Seems like it.
