that same thing made it's rounds here too, and it was nasty. 2 guys I work with got it, and it was bad and lasted a long time. I started getting it then it petered out with me, I got off easy. I have been saying the same, I think there is a good chance it's been here a lot longer than we believe.... not positive of course, but a hell of a coincidence. I got lucky on that deal, but the 2 guys I work with had it for a long time, and a deep cough that stuck around after they felt better.I've been saying that all along. This has been here for quite some time. I've been sick, my wife, my friends, my family, Some got as bad as pneumonia. Sore throats, severe congestion, fever, chest felt like it was on fire, etc... I'm speaking for people in three different states. Which ironically are turning up fewer cases with extremely low mortality rates. My dad, his wife, and my step sister went on a cruise in December. Most of the boat got sick. When they got home, got tested for the flu. Negative. Upper respiratory infections for all. All negative for the flu, strep, etc. Just told viral infections.
I can't prove it was covid 19. This was happening before it ever appeared as a real threat to this country. Its just my opinion and belief. Which is why I felt the way I did about it. I think this thing has mutated and is hitting the hardest with a souped up strain. That's the way I feel. I've been told I was stupid for that belief. But, I'm guessing if the CDC wants antibodies, come to WV, south western VA, and NC. They'll get all they need.
they both worked through it (really no choice) but I could tell they were felling rough. both had pretty bad fevers too for a few days
