I created a throwaway account because, well you'll see why.
My wife just told me that two of her co-workers were in Wuhan in Late November visiting a factory and they both got the flu in Wuhan.
One guy A, tested negative for the flu, he was sick for 6 weeks, he would start to feel better than get sicker. His doctor told him that he had no idea what was wrong with him. The guy A, said it was the strangest flu he ever had. Over the 6 weeks he was sick he worked from home the entire time and was only working part time for most of those 6 weeks because of how bad he felt.
The other guy B, I don't know if B was tested for the flu, was sicker than A, and he was sick for 8 weeks. He also worked from home for the entire time, my wife doesn't work closely with B, so she's not sure how much time he missed during those 6 weeks.

In my part of So Cal, people have been talking about a "recurrent flu" that keeps getting better and relapsing at about 2-week intervals. Everybody I know has had something like that. I think we're going to find out that we've already had covid-19, or there's another very nasty bug out there.
- fspeech 7y agoThere are (at least) two strains of flus circulating this season.
- oceanghost 7y agoOf course, there are, there would have to be dozens if not hundreds?
- jimmux 7y agoThat sounds like what I had during the southern hemisphere's flu season last year. It started in late March, before the shot was ready, and just kept coming back over a number of months.
- knbknb 7y agoDo you know how they were tested? By having a blood sample taken (the classic way), or was this one of the new quick-tests that the German Wikipedia article mentions? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS-CoV-2#Schnelltests https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS-CoV-2#Schnelltests MSN: https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/coronavirus-outbreak-new-test-kit-can-detect-the-virus-in-just-15-minutes/ar-BBZPGYm https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/other/coronavirus-outbreak-ne...
- mygo 7y agoThe OP said they were in Wuhan in November when they got the flu. It would make sense for the doctor not to know what it was at that time. Covid-19 wasn’t a concern until January. We didn’t have these quick tests until ~February.
