5000 day for 17 years. No flu or colds in that time. I doubled up when the CCPV was known to have reached America. I probably had the virus along with my wife, daughter, SIL and grandkids in early March. SIL has tested positive for antibodies. All of us felt as if we had
something mild. It only lasted a few days for the others and I only had dry cough and sniffles for a day.None of us felt we needed to annoy the doctor. CCPV seems to have gone around here previously in late January and early February. Many other people were mildly sick with odd symptoms. Now I hear that perhaps there were two bouts of the disease before we got it bad enough here to be named in late March and April. Now I hear that yes, there were earlier rounds of a milder form of it and that the current "upsurge" is an effect of much more widespread testing and is much milder.
If mostly this thing is an annoyance rather than a fearsome pestilence then it is going to be known to affect only a very few folks unless everybody gets tested and lots of those desultory coughs and sniffles turn out to be the Dread Disease itself.
I can’t take any chances, with 3 underlying co-morbidities: COPD, heart disease and diabetes. All right after 23 days in hospital (2017) with severe-acute Pancreatitis, which had a grapefruit-sized pseudo-cyst on it, requiring 15 operations (ERCPs) and the loss of 134lbs.
