I read your post back then. (I follow all personal experiences, closely). My friend and her husband both had it back in the end of January 2020. Sick as can be and tested negative for the flu. It went through their neighborhood hard after their annual meeting of the HOA. She was coughing so hard she thought she broke a rib. Both smokers, husband sleeps with CPAP. Another elderly couple from same neighborhood/meeting both tested negative for flu but same symptoms. They are not smokers and lead a much healthier lifestyle. Happy to say they’re all still with us.
Glad they all made it.
I really do have a vape pen in my medicine cabinet for future LRTI. Checked it literally just last week, and realized I’d forgotten to put an a/c wall wart in the kit for the USB charging cable.
