Could that nasty crud you had last fall have been COVID-19?

Interesting...that’s consistent with COVID attacking hemoglobin. No SOB, just low sat.

“The first Covid-19 case occurred in China on Nov 17, 2019”

You really trust the Chinese to be honest?

We believe our daughter, our Son-in-law and our Granddaughter had it.   They had a really bad flu that lingered on and on.   They live in State College, PA which is the small town that grew up around Penn State.   Penn State, with a massive buildup of Chinese students since the infamous scandal.   This is from one of their local news sites dated Apr 25, 2015.
Penn State sees influx of students from China. For more than a decade Penn State has worked to bring in more and more students from China. The results have been dramatic. The 2,411 Chinese students make up 5.2 percent of the campus's total undergraduate and graduate enrollment, based on last fall's numbers.
How many of those students travelled home around Chinese New Year and brought back the virus?

The only nasty crud I’ve experienced has been the evil spread by the Democrats for the past 4 years.

I had flu/strep/ ear infection all at once in January, followed by some sort of respiratory nastiness that lasted 2 weeks and petered out with one big loogie every morning for a few days. Not sure what it was, but it ran its course and Ive been fine since. I wonder, but I am not going near people who are being tested cause I dont want it if I haven’t had it.

But what these people are all describing is an upper respiratory infection... If they ALL got it, and none of them died...it wasn’t COVID. Simple math proves that not to be the case.

Ummmm. But many people did die of "flu-like" symptoms in the fall. They're just not talking about it now, because, well, they're dead.

I had an upper respiratory infection at the beginning of March, hacking cough, inflamed throat, went to the doctor a week into it for a routine blood pressure appointment, he said not the flu but seemed nervous around me, I self-isolated for two weeks when it started, then the coronavirus hit the country and everyone had to self-isolate. I’m a religious person and I wonder if the Lord took me out of public life to protect me from something worse.

As I said before: my girlfriend and her son both had this “crud” last two weeks of November.

It was so bad docs suspected pneumonia but BOTH test negative for pneumonia and flu.

Cough, fever for 3 or 4 days, malaise and then crud for two weeks.

Good thing is that if they DID have it I must be immune :)

I was sick in early January for almost two weeks. I am never sick that long.

Who knows what it was, but I hope to take the Antibody Test so I can find out if I was one of the Walking Dead.

Since most of my meds are drying agents, the Cornea doc said I had to give up some.. well most where for serious conditions I’ve Gastropresis slow digestion, only thing that eases the pain is Lomotil as it is 2 mg pain med. Diazide is for fluid around Enlarged heart. So the Claratin and Flonase had to go. Every time they take me off the allergy med I get a month’s of Horrid Bronchitis. Her Restasis stung, 1 singlet caused a eye infection. Of course over the weekend when Ophthalmologist isn’t in, nor did she tell me the Meibomian glands were clogged. All 4 tear ducts are permanently closed.

There is now way to know unless a large selection of the population is tested for antibodies.

Something went around hereabouts in February. Many people got “uncomfortable”. Few missed any work because of it. People had “dry coughs” for a day and low grade fevers, some had “bad stomach” for a few hours. Now the Communist Flu is in the county but it is increasing in incidence only slowly. A family who were in WuHan came back home here in January.

Yup.
Back in about the first week of October I had a runny nose and a few body aches.
Trouble was, it ran like a river and DID NOT STOP !! for about three weeks.
Then I’m literally sittin here Halloween night thinking poor kids better not come around here or they’ll catch a doozy of a bug!
It broke the next day. Fever, headaches, coughed up a river of this green goop, couldn’t eat or sleep for about six days, then it was gone.
True story.

I had chills, fatigue and the cough. I do smoke but this was different back in december. I’m over 60 and was doing sweat shop work near Nashville. Cough lasted a month. Pretty sure that was it.
