pnemonia like symptoms they couldnt shake at the beginning of the year

Got that shite two days before christmas andbit lasted until mid february. Horrible dry cough that I couldnt shake no matter what i took (cough drops, mucinex, nyquil, etc). About four to five people in my office had it as well in early to mid Jan

My son had a severe upper respiratory infection in August. Missed the first 2 weeks of school and lingered for weeks before he stopped coughing and got his energy up. Tested negative for flu.

In October, I developed an upper respiratory issue so severe that I had to get breathing treatments. The doctor thought I’d developed asthma due to my symptoms.

It was a rough couple of months in our household. I coughed and was short of breath for weeks.

I’ve definitely thought about that a few times when news of this virus broke. It was an illness like I’d never experienced — it felt like pneumonia but it wasn’t diagnosed as such and I tested negative for the flu same as my son.

I did bro. I think I had the Corona or the old gunga.

nope dude. I don't get the flu. ever. guess what, your genes are complete junk

I developed a sore throat on January 29th that went into a mid range fever and a strange dry cough that was very deep. I kept the fever for 4 days. Had chills and cold sweats.
The dry cough was the worst that I have ever had. It was very strong and deep. I thought that I had torn my muscles in my stomach area and the extreme soreness and pain existed days after the coughing subsided. I could hear myself wheezing when I was breathing. It was so weird that I tried holding my breath and I could still hear rhe strange wheezing noise. I have never experienced anything like that before.
I started taking Xyzol as soon as the sore throat came on. Went to NyQuil and DayQuil when fever and coughing and fever came on. I slept constantly for about 4 days straight. I was exhausted for three about or four days after that. I never went to the doctor.
A week later I got a sore throat again. I took meds again and it went away two days later. I have never had anything like that. I have flu at least 3 times in the past, but this was different. I did have the flu shot just like I do every year.

I got extremely sick at the end of January. It was a horrific dry cough, totally non productive, and then I started with high fever. Was out of town on a work trip, but had gone to urgent care the night before. They tested me negative for flu and pneumonia. I got dizzy and almost passed out doing inservicing at the hospital I was at out of state the next day. Fever spiked to 104.5, I ended up in that hospital’s ER. They tested me positive for Flu A and x ray showed pneumonia in my chest. I remember reading about this Wuhan Virus that was just starting to make the news and I wondered... anyway, I’ve never been so sick in my life and there were several moments I thought I was going to die. It was terrifying to be honest. 6 weeks later and I still haven’t fully recovered.

Like 3 of us in our house ran fever and felt like shite for a couple days. Clearly flu like symptoms. I had the flu some years back, and it felt pretty close to the same. We all tested negative for the flu. But cough and the other symptoms were present for a couple weeks around it.

We all survived corona.

Do any of you remember being ill for weeks earlier this year by BestBanker And just couldn't shake it? Lingered for a few weeks, and you just felt low. You survived. Have a good day.

I said this several weeks ago after drawing the same conclusion knowing someone that had one of the worst colds of their lives. I was further intrigued after I also found out that a variant of common cold is a variant of the coronavirus.

But the “doctors” of the OT said the Chinese strain is different.
