I am currently recovering from pneumonia.

Went on 17-day Panama Canal cruise, started Feb. 5, got off ship on Feb. 22. On Feb. 19, started with sore throat, cough and fatigue. No shortness of breath. My five cruisemates also got sick with the same symptoms, but one did exhibit shortness of breath.

Got home and self-quarantined, went to Dr. Feb. 25, and she prescribed Doxycyclene, which did not alleviate symptoms. After five days, Dr. called and sent me for chest X-ray, which showed pneumonia. She then prescribed Levaquin, which I took for one week. Finished with Levaquin this past Monday, and am feeling much better.

Other than definite diagnosis of pneumonia, I don't know and no doubt never will know, whether it was Wuhan virus. I'm a 75-year old female, non-smoker, grateful that I have no underlying health issues.

I’m very glad you are feeling better and have recovered from whatever it was that you had.
