I’ve always been a big hand washer. Haven’t been sick since 2017...
but it was a doozy.
Somehow I got pneumonia in my right lung.
? Did I miss something?
I was sick too around Thanksgiving with something flu-like. It went around in my circle also, and though it was flu-like, nobody I knew called it that. It was just “something.” I haven’t had the flu in over a decade either.
That nasty flu ripped through So Cal too. Stanford U is doing a study as we speak of No California populations. We have 8,000 people a DAY fly in from China and many Chinese immigrants/ businesses in this state. I think it is a hypothesis worth pursuing.
While I don’t doubt these folks had some crud that far back, I think it’s intentional that these stories are increasingly being bantered about. In fact, they are being cited by Chinese media as “proof” that the virus didn’t start there.
They didn’t have Covid 19, but they sure are helping to convince the Chinese that their government was just a mere victim of American slander.
We perpetuate these stories at our own peril. Wuhan is back to their old filthy habits, and why not? Even the rank and file Americans are practically admitting (speculating) that the virus was around long before Wuhan.
My daughter is convinced that she contracted it in Gilbert AZ in November. She had been going to a Chinese restaurant several times where all of the staff and most of the clientele were Chinese.
My daughter was hospitalized twice with acute pneumonia symptoms.
Here is Los Angeles area I had a very unusual sudden cold or flu like attack in late December. I never had so much phylum located in the throat and upper respiratory area, and rest of body felt like crap. I thought it was maybe a cold but the rest of the family felt good. So I took various cold medicine to reduce fever and expel phylum. Took about two weeks and now feel great for an 88 year old man. What the hell was it?
Pretty sure I had it. Nasty respiratory symptoms that took weeks to kick.
Not possible. I was told by a MD here that it wasnt possible because the CDC hadnt said so....back in January.
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.
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.
There is now way to know unless a large selection of the population is tested for antibodies.
For later read.
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.
The weekend of 12/22 I picked up something while doing my usual I-85/77/81 trek up into the Western MD highlands for the holidays. For some reason, my mind keeps telling me I got it at the rest area at the NC/VA border; I used my foot on all the other latrine equipment in between because it looked like a septic hole in Calcutta. Well, I started feeling it the next day, and by Christmas Eve, I was feeling pretty wrung out. Chills, upper chest congestion, aching muscles, nose running like a water faucet. I waited until after the first, when I got back, to see my doc. His waiting room was stacked like a cord of wood - his nurse said she’d never seen a waiting room packed like that. He gave me Prednisone to open my lungs, azithromycin for the infection, and Cherrytussin with codeine for the hacking. It took a second visit to get everything cleared out of me. It seemed to go away, then came back. I’m not saying it was or wasn’t COVID-19; I just know that I was one sick puppy for almost two months before I finally shook it loose and felt ‘normal’ again. This was well before ‘coronavirus’ became the new buzzword, but who knows?
