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.

How do you know it was Covid and not influenza?

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!"
