I am sick as heck

So about two days ago I woke up with a burning in my throat , and it just continued to get worse and worse the next day I woke up same thing , yesterday morning I wake up to body aches , chills , cough , nose is stuffy , I had my taste and smell but it comes and goes now , and terrible brain fog and weakness and also I haven’t ran a fever , I tested myself twice for covid and it was negative , and the four times I’ve had covid it was never this bad (except the first time) , does this sound like the flu to you guys ?
