Same for me. I've had one of the worst colds of my life in mid January. Symptoms were sore throat (very briefly), light nose congestion, a very strong and long-lasting dry cough, chills for about 2 nights, light fever and light chest pains. Then, I was worried about developing a bacterial pneumonia.
When I heard about the coronavirus in the beginning of February, I dismissed the possibility because of the timeline. How could it have arrived so early in Portugal?
I still don't think it was Covid-19, but recently got doubts when I heard it might have been circulating in Italy before January. We also had one of the first Covid-19 cases in the region of Lisbon in an institute co-located with ours. Many of my colleagues are Italian and most of them visited Italy during Christmas until New Year. So I'm no longer sure.
