I believe it could be real and I'm not downplaying what you went through, but since you believe that you had it, did it feel different than a bad cold or flu? Flu affects the respiratory system and since flu is down 98% I'm wondering if you had flu and they counted it as covid. Also, all rapid testing centers have the same response on their website that they can't take anyone due to " high demand" , but the longer tests are taking anyone.. just odd that ever facility has the same generic response. Try looking up CVS in your state to see if they say the same thing for a rapid test on their website if you're up for it.
