re: T or F: Corona has been passing around since at least mid to late January

Yep. Had something I think was this in late January. Diagnosed by urgent care as Bronchitis.

I had pneumonia two days after the LSU and Clemson game. My aunt and Uncle also had it a week before I did. I was not in contact with either for a good while. A church member in his late 60s who was relatively healthy died of pneumonia the same week I had it. Also had numerous co workers and friends who had a serious flu well before this current wave.

You’re suggesting that all of these were due to Covid-19? The virus was this prevalent in Louisiana in January?

T

Possibly, but not likely as widespread as it is now.

Probably so

True.

I had a work conference with co-workers from literally all over the world in late January. We were being warned about coronavirus before we went. 3 days after the conference, I had a horrible cough. Ended up having terrible shakes, and a fever of 100. Went to urgent care, negative flu, negative strep. Fever spiked to 104 by the next morning, and coughing was horrible.

I am 100% convinced I had this thing. I was fine and back at work 5 days later, thinking it was just a bad flu. Just went with the normal wait at least 24 hours after the fever breaks to return. Cough lingered for a couple of weeks.

We also had multiple return from the conference with all the same symptoms, which seemed odd at how contagious it seemed to be.

I'm almost 100% positive I had it in late December when I was in Thailand.
