My family had it over Thanksgiving 2019. High school daughter came home from school saying everybody at school was sick with something. So it already tore through our youngsters. Nobody knew what it was, doctors didn’t know how to treat it and nothing they gave us worked. Just had to ride it out for three weeks.
RE: High school daughter came home from school saying everybody at school was sick with something
How do you know it was Covid and not influenza?
Looks like some professors from the University of Kent are about to be suspended from Twitter. Twitter’s authorities know it came from the wet market. It is settled science. And Trump has to be wrong.
I had it early January of 2020; still not back to 100 percent (I had done a half-marathon just a month or so before, now I get huffing at 10K). Did get my sense of smell and taste back, finally.

Hey, how’d you like to trade your condition for mine ( I never got infected )? I can’t even do 2.5k without huffing. :)
RE: I took a flight to Chicago for the holiday and a few days later I was pretty sick for a couple of weeks.
Same question I asked Maskot - how do you know it was Covid and not a nasty case of the flu virus?
If you have not been vaccinated, the best way to determine this is to test your Covid antibodies.
I did just read on social media a comment by a family returning from wuhan China in Oct 2019 and they all were sick on the plane. They didn’t know what they had, came back to the USA and all recovered. Now they are pretty sure it was covid.
Who cares and so what?!?!?! Everyone knows the PRCs unleashed this upon the world and everyone knows the world will do nothing about it!

It may or may not have been Wuhan Flu, you’d need a test to know for sure but you make a great point.
Last year we needed to test high school students to see how many had had it.
The antibody tests begun last year showed the vast majority of people who had it did not even know.
A coordinated sampling if high school and college students could have greatly informed us of the dangers to the populace in general it is basic epidemiology but was never even considered or discussed. It would have harmed the fear narrative.
Then, one of my sons got it and was sick from Christmas to mid January.
That son and I belong to the same PPO and have the same primary care doc that we had before the doctor joined the PPO.
Being 80+, I got a lot of tests of all types and never got a diagnosis.
That son lost over 30#'s and missed more work in a month than in his previous 15 years at the same company.
Our 20 year old grandson got the crud a few days after Christmas was okay on 2 Jan. 2020.
My wife and no women in our family got the crud.
My wife had worked with this doctor in a private practice when he first came to our area.
So she asked the doctor what I had and our grandson had.
His reply, "Probably the same thing, and we don't know what it was. It was probably some virus!"
Never too late to start!
Been doing run/walk/run (Galloway), way easier than anything else I’ve tried.
Kind of regret I never did the antibody test, I mean I’m in pretty good shape for 59, hitting the weights and running 4+ days a week and was at 20 percent bodyfat, and it just kicked my ass. Had the flu before, and very bad case of it, but this was a whole ‘nother thing.
Lost my sister to it.
The two things about this damned virus that made and make it so difficult - the long period between exposure and illness and the fact that it seems to quite often cause *no* effects even if the person is contagious as hell.
I had it in early ‘20, 2nd week of January; I have a post below with the gory details, still not completely back and I’m a gym-rat and runner.
My loss of sense of smell and taste was very evident from a month after whatever for about 6 month. That was when I could smell our morning coffee brewing in the morning and taste it again.
My wife is close to being a chef, and she has some great bowl recipes and special recipes for dinner where she measures every spice and whatever is added. So those recipes never change, and in the last 2 months, they have tasted better.
“had it in early ‘20, 2nd week of January; I have a post below with the gory details, still not completely back and I’m a gym-rat and runner.”
Yes. I had something around the same time. It was not bad, I seemed to have a low fever and was out of it, in a fog, for a week or so. Kind of tired.
I dont know if it was Covid. I would have to take a T cell test to know for sure.
There “were” reports of Chinese with a strange pneumonia September of 2019.
Because it wasn’t. She knows flu. This wasn’t it.
Also, I Know flu. This wasn’t it. Far far from it.
