I've thought about this many times lately. I was in Quartzsite AZ in Jan and Feb camping in the desert with 1 million other people. My wife got sick with Flu like symptoms for 3 days. Then I got it. It was different than a usual cold. Very dry cough. Lungs congested, I had gurgling in my lungs when I laid down at night, but it never went to my nasal passages. I was never stuffed up. I would get winded walking short distances. Mine lasted for about two weeks. I don't remember any fever or not being able to smell or taste food.

Just curious.

Only way to know is to have the blood test that checks for antibodies.

I know of few people that had really bad coughs for several weeks early Feb.

I'm hearing from several very healthy people that don't usually get colds/the flu/or strep throat, that they had malaise/fatigue, a sore throat and a bad cough in late January/early February.

Without widely available, drive up testing, it's impossible to definitively say.

Even if you tested positive, it could have been a different viral upper respiratory tract infection, then had asymptomatic Covid-19 last week.

I had something similar first of Jan. Daughter had it right before Christmas. Felt like hammered hell for 2-3 weeks. Then EX and and her husband got. All of us tested neg for Flu and Strep and Dr told us a flu like virus was going around

I'd be curious to know. I was sick in late January with similar symptoms.

We had a bug go through our FD pretty hard back in February...guys that never call in had to call in....all of us that had it were still have shortness of breath just doing simple things like walking or moving around for 2-3 weeks after. Most of us are literally just now feeling 100% again. We all tested negative for the flu as well. It was like nothing we had ever had before and symptoms sure mimic COVID.

Of course we are told by the "experts" that its not possible.

the wife and I both had a touch in February.

Yep i had it in early February. Dry cough, low grade fever that would come and go, fatigue. Eventually made its way to my sinus but all other symptoms had gone away by that time. I just chalked it up to pollen

This questionable sickness happened in Tennessee as well.

...someone told me!

I think we all have had it or already been exposed to it.

I had the flu along with my wife and kids for 3 weeks from December 23 into January. Docs could NOT figure out why it wouldn't go away.

I was sick late feb for 10 days, all lungs no head cold, I was coughing up stuff that looked like the devil.

Entire departments at my work were out with the "flu" in January/early Feb.

Yep. I can't tell you how many people I've talked with down here recently that have had a 10 day to 2 week sickness that all have same symptoms, and tested negative for flu. This started late February for the folks I'm talking to.

I'm sure ready for that antibody test to come out, I'm betting it knocks some steam out of the panic train.
