FWIW our family got hit with the same thing. The cough was... different than anything we’ve experienced in recent memory. I assumed it was the flu (we stayed home and didn’t get tested, but it was pretty brutal.)
- jp57 7y agoYes. I have trouble describing how bad the cough and lung symptoms were. At one point I remember saying "my lungs itch" and wishing I could find a way to scratch them from the outside.
- gdubs 7y agoMy wife fractured a rib from coughing just to give a sense of how bad it was.
- Ghjklov 7y agoI think it was also around December when me and a number of coworkers at the cafe I was working at got sick like this too. I don't know what they did, but I was out for a few days to recover and never went to see a doctor since I don't have any health insurance or provider. I recovered after about a week or so of rest. I no longer work there and am looking for a new job now, but these are tough times. I couldn't have picked a worse time to be looking for work. I wonder how things are gonna go for people such as me who work in jobs that inherently need people at a physical location interacting with people. We can't just remote into work and make coffee for people.
- alphabettsy 7y agoThis is certainly a situation that makes clearer the failings of our healthcare policy. We might end up worse than China with so many not having access or being able to afford a doctor or hospital visit.
