corona virus symptoms vs copd...

How long has this corona virus been out? I have the same symptoms as what's described in copd as corona virus but this started around late 2018. I've lost like 30 pounds and didn't even try. I smoke a pack of marlboro's a day and at first thought I had a copd but maybe it's corona virus?

I've got a a real interesting side note to this. A couple weeks ago I was researching copd and realized it's not curable. From what I could gather that means I'm terminally ill. So I realize I'm not healthy and never will be and was thinking about an exit plan on life. For about 30 minutes to an hour I was very depressed.

The next morning, this girl I used to date texts me in somewhat of a panic saying she had a dream about me the same night and saw my face. She just texts out of the blue after 6 months. Well I know why she saw my face in a dream but has anyone ever experienced anything like that?
