I too might have already had it. Bad viral sickness and high fever for 5 days. We get mystery respiratory illness on my hospital unit all the time so it is hard to say.
Anybody On Here Actually Had The Coronavirus?

You know I was a little skeptical about that bat sashimi I had. Didn’t look fresh.
If it looked like this then things are starting to add up?.
I'm very glad to hear that you guys who think you had it recovered as well as you did.
But considering that we're in the process of destroying the economy of the entire Western world and putting God knows how many people out of work over this bad cold virus, perhaps you could have at least stayed sick a little longer...you know, just so it would all seem worth it.

Not this winter but last winter, I had a weird respiratory thing. I had to sleep sitting up, and it came with a dry cough that took weeks to clear, really nasty. Then my wife got the same thing. It was a walking malady; that is, I could get up and do the business of the day, but I didn't sleep well. Since I kept moving, I never took it to the doctor. I thought maybe it was a flu bug slightly ameliorated by having had the flu shot, but I don't really know, of course. The most effective medicines were DayQuil and NyQuil two or three times a day. I thought of them as dessert wine. Halls cough drops, the eucalyptus, helped. No pipe smoking for me until I was well. Sometimes sweating under an extra cover helps, raises body temp so the bug cooks. I think pets don't get our viruses because their body temperatures are too high and the bugs can't take it. The bugs just get swallowed and digested.
Just regular flu here, recovering. Had sinus issues after the fever abated, which I’m informed is not characteristic of this new virus. Hoping to be healthy before inundated again.
Can’t say how much less worried I am now that the stats show my kids will likely have it easier than I will.

The thing about this disease is its either no big deal or a son-of-bitch. Mainly it's no big deal but if your over 60 with respiratory problem it's the end of the line.
I'm 73 so I guess someone is going to get alot of pipes and tobacco in short notice.
Within the next few weeks, I’m sure one of us will have it. It would be nice to be able to communicate directly with someone and get a non-sensationalized report of what it’s like!

You're gunna be fine Ray, that shit aint got nothing on our American codgers.
I dreamed last night that the back pain I am (in reality) currently experiencing was related to CoronaVirus and it confirmed the infection.
In all seriousness I think it logical to conclude that millions will catch the disease without ever having confirmation.

Maybe younger people aren't quite as safe as they first thought?

They say 40% of those hospitalized are 20-54.
I’ve seen this, too. It’s not surprising, I don’t think, as the chances of having a severe form of COVID19 and needing hospitalization seems to be around 15% across all ages-it’s just that your chances of not recovering are much higher if you’re older. I’m 32 and well aware that this has the potential to land me in the hospital, but that my chances of dying as a result are less than 1%. That is, IF the hospital has oxygen, a bed, and staff enough to treat me...
I’d also bet that all Americans have about a 70% chance of getting it in the next year...there is NO containment possible at this point.
It’s weird times, folks.
I agree with anotherbob; Prior to Xmas I had EXTREME pain in my middle chest and couldn't move for a week. I was exhausted and any movement of my body hurt. It was worse at night with chills. My breathing was compromised. It coincided with some black tea that arrived from a Chinese Farm via airmail that I handled and consumed two days prior. Could have been a coincidence, but it came from China. The only other place I had been was the Post Office. Someone I know just had something like this too and has since recovered.
very likely not the package unless it got from there to you in five days under the right conditions. But who knows.
Well the tea was moist, fresh and zipfoil packed so if someone coughed on it maybe something could have lived on the leaves
I would guess more that the guy who delivered the package sneezed on it, and I would say that it’s a possibility that he had Coronavirus. My girlfriend had a similar illness a few weeks ago...
Statistics can be a little misleading. I have been thinking about that post I made...
Would'nt the statistic still be true if 100% of the people in that group who were hospitalized were over the age of 50??
News can be a bitch to sort through anymore.
