Yup, I had the worst flu of my life in late November of 2019. Lasted 2 weeks, and the cough that came with it lingered for 2 months. I remember everyone at work saying "something awful" was going around.
- nikolay 6y agoIrvine, Orange County, California - both my wife and son had in January 2020 a pretty bad "flu" - low-grade fever, coughs, shortness of breath. Is it possible that we had some other mutation in the early days, which wasn't as bad the as dominant ones today?
- dragonwriter 6y agoThe most likely explanation for a pretty bad “flu” near the usual peak of flu season is that you don't need quotes around “flu”.
- nikolay 6y agoWell, how do I know it was the flu though? That's why I applied the quotes.
- eschulz2 6y agoApparently up to 40% of Covid cases are asymptomatic, so maybe you had the same strain that is common today. I also had such symptoms in January of 2020 (started a year ago tomorrow).
- nikolay 6y agoA mild case is not an asymptomatic one. We know a lot of friends who said they had the worst flu in their life, but some of them months later got diagnosed with COVID-19, so, I'm not sure what really was going on back then.
