My guess is that this is the second wave. Who knows when the first wave actually began.
Nah, this probably started in China in October and was here in the US in mid-late Nov, which would put us in wave 20ish instead of wave 10 like the imperial college model had. Also means we’re probably nearly done as well - 2 or 3 more weeks and we’ll have herd immunity.
I (looking back in retrospect) wonder if the first wave came in the fall of 2019?
I got sick - cough (semi-phlegmy), sore throat, light headache, run down feeling, snotty nose, fever of 102 degrees, etc. It last about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks.
Now I get it that those symptoms don’t match those of CV but there were a few similarities. I’m going off ancdotal reports - but it seemed like a lot of people were having those same problems.
Could it have been just a common cold bug ripping around? Could it have been a non-CV type of virus? Definitely.
But given the way I felt last fall, it was one of the more rougher colds I’ve ever had.
