I was sick late October through November. Never had a cough and sickness last that long. Exactly the symptoms of coronavirus. The date is too early, I know, but still.
Same with me. I had low fever and cough for last 3 weeks. Never had anything like it before, it just wouldn’t let go.
Yes, it was too early for North America based on gene sequencing. The very first case in China could have been in that time frame, but only barely.
I had the same GD thing after a flight to and from Appleton WI from Mesa AZ Jan 4th and 8th.
Matter of fact, when the hysterians started this crap on here, I mentioned that I most likely had it and now over it.
How would you and I have known? It was just like other common/severe colds I have had in the past except..this one I had a fever. And I dont remember getting a good fever as a result of a cold.
Bad headache, Started out with a sore throat, Dry cough for a week or so, shortage of breath-although with copd I am always short of breath, and the fever. Not much of sore joints though.
What I do? Nothing. Stayed home for one day from the fever and kept on going like I always do with colds.
whole house hit - each person approx. every two weeks apart and it started approx. 1- 2 weeks after coming back from Canada in late, late Dec. where everyone was talking about some really hard core flu type thing that had just been going around - since around Thanksgiving or slightly after. Much of the same symptoms. Everyone since recovered. Symptoms varied slightly depending on each persons weaknesses but essentially the same. I remember vividly, the first kid was saying it felt like “couldn’t breath”, so I kept a close eye on him. I knew this “flu” was different. I can always tell by what it does to me too. This happened from January all the way through Feb before the panics started. I knew again it was the same after another child got sick (by this time covid-19 was more known but not talked about much yet) went to the hospital got treated and sent home with anti biotic after the simple question of “have you been outside the US in the past 30 days?” I said “no”, but explained Canada trip. They didn’t care because that wasn’t part of the questioning - at that time. I was also sick in late Oct. (got better, normal flu bug/cold virus)and rarely get something twice in the same year... but got hit as I said, in January. I believe we have a good amount of immunity already. But I guess that doesn’t fit the story line being propagated. Anyone who thinks the virus was only coming from China is a fool. Maybe originally waaaay back, but it has been everywhere and we only know now because there is testing.
Thanks. Glad you made it. I was with my family visiting my sis in California many years ago. At that time the Beijing flu was around. I think I got it from the plane ride out there from Michigan. I was on the bedroom floor of her house for 2 days and sick the entire vacay. I’ve never been so sick. I’ve had the flu about 3-4 times in my life. Each time I felt like I was hanging on for dear life. Never went to the docs. The 1st time I was so young the doctor made a house call (back in the day). Sheesh, I can’t believe I made it this far. My wife said the flu is going to kill me one day. She may be right.
Same thing for me Feb, Mar and Apr 2019 - 12 dreadful weeks. 3 different rounds of antibiotics, 3 different rounds of steroids, 2 inhalers. Started as bronchitis and got really scary at the end with some real difficulty breathing. At the beginning, doc said takes 12 weeks on average to be rid of bronchitis — at the end of the 12th week, BINGO - I suddenly was all better.
Same here. Was coughing so bad it became painful.
My girlfriend and her son both had some crud last October. Her son went to the ER thinking it was pneumonia.
Probably lasted 3 weeks from start to finish. Lungs were full of crap.
That was everywhere. I finally took a day and a half off life and it was gone.
Same here. Caught the worst virus in many years on Black Friday and it hung on for weeks. Had extreme respiratory symptoms which seems to be the hallmark of this.
my daughter too.
Some docs called it an atypical flu.
I got sick in late January.
Severe cough that kept me awake.
Treated it with Mucinex.
I was coughing for a month.
But still...
