I work in an industry where I deal, face to face, with Chinese clients every day. 2 1/2 weeks ago I believed I showed many of the symptoms and called the state hotline to see if I could get tested. I was told no, since my symptoms were mild. Since then 2 other co worker have the same symptoms that I do. No testing for them either.

There were two wide outbreaks of a nasty respiratory flu variety, around Thanksgiving into early December, and in mid-January, that were not this Coronavirus, but which many on FR and elsewhere have described as having similar symptoms. The first vaccine distribution apparently was a miss for the varieties of flu which ended up actually being active in the US.

2.5 weeks ago could well be this disease, or it could be the that flu. Overall, still probably the flu, but of course your individual circumstances may go in the face of that. It’ll be good when they get the serum tests working. That checks for antibodies to see if you’ve ever had it.
