My wife and I both had a very nasty virus about 3 weeks before all this blew up - beginning of Feb I think. I had it first and it was nasty, she had it after me and worse - her temperature went briefly over 39 degrees at one point. Took a long time to get over - my white blood cell count still hadn't properly recovered last time I had a blood test about 3 weeks ago.
I don't think we had any contact with anyone who could have had it but it has made us wonder, especially as China aren't exactly open and forthcoming with information.
A friend and his wife had something similar. His cough was so bad he broke a rib, proper X-ray job. He's absolutely convinced it was this virus, although wasn't tested for it.
He told me this while still recovering from it, after hugging me...
Me and my wife were exactly the same a few weeks ago. I’ve had a flu jab through work, she is too afraid of needles to get one. Doubt it was flu because vaccination, seemed too full on to be a cold, if it had been corona though wouldn’t there be more fall out from us having it? I don’t know...
