Same for me. I came home from a trip to NYC in mid-December 2019 and got sick days later. I’ve never been sick like that before, or after. Straight up delirium. I never went to the doctor, so I don’t know if I officially had COVID or not (not that it mattered, it wasn’t a “thing” yet) but..wow.

Same…February 2020. Delirium is the only way to describe how I felt…and never felt it since (got COVID but after I had the vaccine so it was mild)

I’ve never been diagnosed with or actually tested positive for COVID (and for a few years there every time I had a sniffle I would test at home). My husband also got sick after our trip from NYC, and the same thing goes for him - never “officially” had it. No scientific proof of course, but I swear we had it in 2019 & it helped us gain some kind of immunity. Or we were just carriers without symptoms. Who knows.
