Coronavirus Death in California Came Weeks Before First Known U.S. Death
- chasd00 6y agomy wife went to a Montessori teacher training event in Houston last fall which included someone from China. A few weeks later between Christmas and New Years the whole family became sick with something like the flu however all our flu tests came back negative. I'm beginning to wonder.
- redis_mlc 6y agoI don't even know what to say about the naivete of our officials. Corona has been circulating world-wide since mid-Dec. at the latest. It has certainly been in California since then. Both Wuhan and Shanghai have international airports, and Disneyworld Shanghai was closed Jan. 24 after corona spread across China.
- haltingproblem 6y agoI was super sick in 2nd week of January. Worst dry cough I have ever had and it lasted 3 weeks. Chills, headaches, loss of appetite. Felt run down for weeks afterwards. Threw up a few times. Now pretty sure it was this.
- sg47 6y agoI came back from a trip to Thailand, India and had a 12-hour layover in Hong Kong. Even during the flight from HK back to SF, I started feeling a bit sick. That night I went to bed with a 103 fever which lasted for a couple of days. Picked up a severe dry cough that last for 4-5 weeks. A week later, news about coronavirus had started to spread, so I went to see the doctor. After testing a cheek swab sample, he said I didn't have corona but I also didn't have the flu. He said I had some sort of virus which wasn't reassuring. I felt extremely tired and cold for weeks after coming back from my trip. Pretty sure I had the virus especially since it wasn't diagnosed as the flu.
