Hard to say. No one was looking for Covid-19 back in December. Everyone was thinking it was contained in China and they WHO stated it couldn’t be transmitted human-to-human.
I was flying between Tampa and Detroit almost weekly in January and February. After one flight, I had the absolute worst cold I’ve ever experienced. Quick onset, chills, fever, muscle ache, headache. All the classic symptoms of Covid-19. I had a flu shot earlier this year, but because of my age; 65+ and an underlying condition of hypertension my Dr. wanted me to have a pneumonia shot as well. I didn’t get around to it, so I attributed my bad cold to that reason.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I had the Covid-19 virus and just wasn’t aware of it. I think it’s been with us a lot longer than people realize.
Javier Castellano, who is a top jockey, was quarantined at his mother’s house in Florida for the past 14 days after testing positive for the virus. His exact words from yesterday “I never had any symptoms. The scary part is people can have it and you don’t know it.” He was allowed to fly home yesterday to New York where he lives. He said five people were on the plane flight. I don’t know what to make of this entire situation but it helps to have avenues such as FR available for other’s experiences.
