My anec-story is from ~Nov 1. BA resident. Sickest in my life. At the ER with 106F (did not know it even went there) fever and bad cough. Complete delirium. Flu result came back negative. No sepsis either. Released with anti-pneumonia antibiotics. Fever > 105F persisted for at least 6-7 days. Coughing that was bad enough to cause spasm. Took a second round of antibiotics (21 days total) to get over the pneumonia. The doc remarked about my chest x-ray ("whoa what is that?!!") but could not give a good explanation.
- NotSammyHagar 6y agocan you get tested for the antibodies, that's much earlier than other infections (Nov 1). Of course you could have gotten it in a later infection that wasn't so noteworthy.

- xtracto 6y agoWhen I came back from a California trip to my hometown in Mexico, I got something nasty with the typical symptoms: fever, shortness of breath, dry cough, etc etc. I went to the ER and got x-ray and blood samples. When my doctor arrived, he was all cool. Then he asked me a bunch of questions and went to see the x-ray and blood work result in the labs. After taking some time, when he came back, he had a face mask and a can of Lysol. He said he had been delayed filling an epidemiological report. That's the moment when I knew it was bad haha.
