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...
Mate, I licked the contacts on that heart rate monitor you sold me! How long until I'm dead?
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.
