Perhaps it’s because we’ve got some variant strain of coronavirius previously that inoculated the population? I believe we got it here way earlier (starting in early Autumn) and it wasn’t as “deadly” as whatever else hit the rest of the country.
They’ve just amazed that they “found” lots of people who’ve already had it via testing. But they’re still ordering people to wear hankies like train robbers to go shopping in stores.
That's a good question. I believe something got us back on March 4. I was away on the western side of the state for about 2 months & then went home on the eastern side. My daughter had what she thought was bronchitis, but within 2 days of my being home, something kicked my royal tush.
I was sick with something bad - a flu - for 8 weeks solid and then another 2 more weeks coming off it. My daughter was also sick, but less sick than me. My grandkids also got sick with it, but a day? Maybe 2 & they were back to themselves.
Had the typical flu symptoms, snot factory & all, and since I don't eat anyway unless I have to, I have no idea if I lost an appetite. All I know is that it was well into May when I was up & about again.
She was tested the other day (negative), but I've not been tested. Not sure I want to go that far.
