Maybe some of it was COVID-19 ???
We are going to have overwhelming anecdotal evidence that COVID-19 was in the US well before 2020 rolled around.
When I visited the doctor on New Years Eve for my flu, I told him it felt like I had been “hit by a train.” Though hit by a bus, is pretty close.
I swear I think I had it around the New Year.
I have been hit by a train, it was not any fun.
been hit by worse...man up wusses, media has you frothing at the mouth. Stop!!!
It’s what the flu I had around New Years felt like. And I agree with you.
I think my son had it right before Christmas 2019. Had all the symptoms, but tested negative for the flu. I understand from local health professionals that happened a lot in December. Many of them believe it was already here in early December.
I was sick with flu around February, and I hardly ever get flu, even though I also never take the flu vaccine.
Our kid was pretty ill Christmas Eve (although not extreme), and stayed the night with us. My wife was more ill than our kid late in December, and was still ill on January 3. Had residual symptoms for at least a week after. I can't be certain, but they might have had COVID-19.
For the past 10 years I never had to take a day off of work for illness. I was in such bad shape the doc told me to take a week off.
You can bet, based on their statements and policies given to hospitals that all of it was put down as COVID, regardless of whether it was seasonal flu, pneumonia, or another respiratory problem.
What’s interesting is a lot of people ill in December 2019 and January 2020 were tested for the flu and it came back negative. Now, I suspect the tests are only good for known viruses, and they do slip through the system as evidenced by how wrong they sometimes get the flu vaccines. But it is starting to become a lot of people testing negative.
Except for all the tests for influenza B that were positive. And South Florida was the major hotspot for influenza B/Victoria January - early February. And having had that myself, it was like being hit by a truck.
The flu shot was only 15% effective this year. Influenza B/Victoria wasn't part of either the flu shot or the pneumonia shot.
Maybe some of COVID-19 was flu. They didn’t start testing until late, and I just read that NYC is assigning all deaths of people that had flu symptoms to COVID-19, whether they were tested or not.
We are going to find a staggering manipulation of data has gone into this.
Maybe they felt like they got hit with a bat.

I think my post button got stuck.
