Yeah. So hard to know when it's normal to get some kind of lurgy over winter anyway, but again, that's just made it more likely for the mild cases of this to fly under the radar.
Be interested to see if there was an unusual spike in pneumonia pre-Christmas too, but given how fucked the NHS is how likely that this would even be monitored if unaware of a potential pandemic?
Lots of anecdotal "first cases were identified in November, was probably going around before then and I had a cunt of a cold in December" stories coming from around the globe.
How likely is it that this has been a pandemic far longer than known and a significant number of people internationally have indeed already had it?
Again, anecdotally, partner and I were both bed ridden for a week in December with a strangely dry cold that never came to much in terms of mucus but hung around for a couple of weeks. Makes me wonder as we both work in germ-pit offices with high international populations.
