So my parents were talking about it, and we realized that when we got sick last December, when it first started getting talked about, we were really sick. A friend gave us the flu, but it might not have been just the flu. We had a horrible cough that lasted over three weeks, we were sweating like crazy, we had the chills and I had a fever of 104. I looked and felt like I was dying. It’s possible that we just had a very bad flu, but it’s very likely that we had THE virus, because the flu leaves your system in 72 hours. We were sick for three weeks. THREE WEEKS! The good news is, we already had it, so our systems are immune. But seriously, yikes.

6 RepliesGiven how quickly it spreads, if you did have it there would likely have been an outbreak in your area. The fact it was limited to your family and friend and not your community could imply it was not COVID-19. There are multiple other diseases that can cause similar symptoms. I had enterovirus years back and it sounds similar to what you're describing.

Probably wasn’t COVID. If it was, there would’ve been a lot more deaths/overloaded hospitals where you are.

Same. Me and my family swear that we had it. We had a respiratory virus in January, had it for like 3 weeks, recovered, and now we chillin.

1 ReplyDid any of you even think of going to the doctors?

11 RepliesJust a warning, having it once does NOT make you immune. Several people, a few in the news have come down with it twice in a row. Also, did you have aches and lots of flim? That's a big sign of the virus.

The flu is a 5 day kinda deal tho

My folks think they had it back in January.

2 Replies[i]The last thing I want to do is fuel this wild conspiracy theory, but I also came down with “something” in December, and whatever the -blam!- it was, was pretty scary. I was sick for roughly a month. Symptoms first appeared on Christmas Day, a runny nose, thought I was having a hay fever allergy ( not uncommon for that time of year, although it usually happens in the autumn, when everything is dry and dusty ). By the end of Christmas Day, my throat was scratchy. Within the next few days I was 100% certain I had the flu. That ( self ) diagnosis changed roughly 2 weeks later when I developed a dry cough where I felt like the ribs on the ride side of body where shattering every time I coughed. I was half convinced that I’d pulled something in my back because I carrying heavy boxes up and down from the attic on the day that the cough turned bad. By the time I’d worked up the courage to call my GP, the symptoms ( all of them ) mysteriously disappeared overnight. Something was definitely going around in late December to January, and it definitely was stronger than your average flu virus.[/i]

Well the best things to do are Eat foods that boost the immune system Stay hydrated Take your multi vitamins And wash your hands regularly Avoid unnecessary contact with strangers Do those and you should be fine

I reccomend going off-planet

I guess I'm immune because I haven't been sick since last year

4 RepliesI guess you all had just returned from a family trip to Wuhan China? Or maybe live there? ? Else if not you are about the fifth person I’ve heard claim to have had it before it became a pandemic 😅

1 ReplyDuuude! Same! It was February 14, when we got sick and we were sick like all of February it was horrible, my mom actually just lost her cough about 2 weeks ago. So we are thinking we are now immune as well, but still I’m not going to talk any chances. [spoiler]@-@[/spoiler]
