re: Wsj breaking: 2% of Americans had covid in their blood before Christmas 2019

I was pretty congested in February. Chest congestion, cough, achy. Didn’t go to doctor. Hoping I had the China virus then.

I had covid and got up at 5:30 to hunt deers the next morning.

LifeShare is no longer testing for antibodies
Donated last week & asked because after my September donation I didn’t get any results
I tested negative in July

Bourbon Street, watched SEC and ACC Championship Games, partied our arse off. Wife, no pics, was sick as a dog, 3-5 days later. Said she had never experienced anything like it. She literally lay on the couch and cried. She is tough, sick usually rolls off her.

It was here months before that. October and November of 2019 even.

My doc had flu like symptoms and then horrible cough/respiratory issues that lingered a month and a half. Caught it In late September and it went through October into November before he could quit using his Breo inhaler... he told me this just after the New Year when I went to him and he put me on the same inhaler after I came down with flu like symptoms, tested negative, had a 103 fever and had pneumonia. They wouldn’t test me for COVID because I “didn’t meet the criteria.” Had lingering respiratory issues and asthma for a month after that. Came down with all that after a vacation, shuffling in and out of airports and planes.

This makes sense. I think it was around way before December. I caught some kind of upper respiratory illness around Labor Day 2019 that came on so suddenly that I could feel my fever rising the day I got sick. Had a low grade fever for almost a week that turned into a bad cough a day later. Went to see the doc the following day as the cough got worse and had pneumonia. Took a course of antibiotic over a week with no impact. Felt really weak and lost about 15 pounds over that week and the next. Took me a good 6 weeks to get pretty close to normal. Never had anything like that before. Really odd.

Yep, there's a reason China was buying up PPE back in Sept. of 2019: China is Asshoe
Seriously, the leaders of China should be executed as international terrorist murderers.

I was diagnosed with Scarlet Fever back in early January, right after going to the SEC Championship game.

I swore it was the flu, but tested negative, dr swore it was strep throat but also tested negative. Once the rash hit, they chalked it up to SF. Now I’m wondering...

I'm a walking example of how this story is true. Last christmas the wife and I visited family in Seattle. A few weeks later we both came down with what I thought was the flu. Cough, fever, etc. They tested us for everything under the sun but everything came up negative.

It was the 'Rona.
