I got SUPER sick around January/February in 2020. It wasn’t until COVID really swarmed and took over the headlines that I realized that’s probably what it was…I usually manage pretty well with flus and all that, but that particular one put me on my ass for days and I still remember how awful I felt. Never once tested positive after that, but just a guess.
Most likely. I caught it in Nov. 2019 and later my doc said they were inundated with atypical pneumonia cases that tested neg for influenza. It was already here.
Same. Had a horrible respiratory-something illness with fever in January 2020, coughing so bad I almost went to the ER. I did go to my GP and he did a chest x-ray; said it was bronchitis and prescribed an antibiotic and cough meds. I was really sick, miserable and missed a week of work.
When COVID hit I sure wondered if I’d already had it! The only reason it might not have been is my daughter didn’t get sick, and she had taken care of me the whole time.
I’ve been vaxxed and had COVID (tests taken, so I was sure) three times again, but it’s been nowhere near as bad as that Jan. 2020 illness.
