I take zinc, D3, C, and A (part of multivitamins).
I am blood type O.
Last year early March (before the July mask mandate and late March work-from home ) a young guy came to work with a sore throat and stopped by my desk Thursday/Fri.
I was ok the weekend, and on Monday started feeling slightly short of breath/ hard to get over a yawn, and went to the urgent Care (my Dr had closed for the day) and he said I didn’t have a cold, flu, or strep, and there were no tests available for the wuhan virus (I’m in the outskirts of the DFW metroplex).
He gave me steroid pills and I was in bed the next 3 days, very tired and lost sense of smell.
No fever, cough, or body aches though.
When I came back to work that Friday, the place was a ghost town; I asked a colleague what was going on, and he said Dallas had declared an emergency.
Dunno if a mask would’ve helped, but I had probably had the wuhan virus; I’ve never gotten short breath/couldn’t yawn, or lost sense of smell.
I came down with something and went for a covid test. It was negative. I was puzzled because of all the vitamins I take. Turns out I got Mountain Cedar Fever which has all the symptoms of the flu and the wuhan. I was sick for about three weeks and lost my sense of smell. My immune system was still in great shape because of my vitamins, but the allergen threw me for a loop.
