My thirty-year old daughter came down with a very bad cough in December. It progressed to bronchitis. She developed gastrointestinal symptoms and had to be hospitalized. She was then admitted to the ICU due to low oxygen saturation levels, but not incubated. She tested negative for flu, but totally before COVID-19 was identified. She recovered.

Because she worked as a nurse, she was required to stay at home for two weeks after discharge from the hospital. Now she is caring for COVID-19 patients where she works and has not caught it herself even though she has been exposed for over a month.

She thinks she already had it, but hasn’t had an antibody test.

I'm not a doctor or a maffmuhtician, but I think the CV ate the influenza!
