I feel similarly. I'm in far western MA and our local outbreak was mostly due to a nursing home. But we spent several days in NYC in early March for knee surgery for my husband. It was the last few days before things got serious and I was being very careful with wipes and hand sanitizer and not letting interns touch my husband. But a couple weeks later we were both sick with flu like symptoms. Mine turned into what I deemed was a sinus infection and I did take antibiotics and it did go away. But I really wonder after hearing about the antibody tests in Chelsea and NY. My bff is a Pathologist and she's been saying she thinks it was spreading for a while and many more people have had it. Personally I just hate not knowing things so am really curious about who has the antibodies and then, just what that means since we really don't know what immunity it confers if any.
Suddenly I want an antibody test.
In February- early March, I had a 2.5 week "down-period". I was running at 80% and a couple of short bouts of 50% where I felt slightly feverish. I remember feeling my head and checking my temperature a couple of times (nothing). These % numbers are what went actually through my head at the time, because I thought it the lack of energy and feeling off was unusual for me. Still went to work, where I had a co-worker that had something similar and before me.
I never considered CV since it was before the outbreak in MA. But I work close to the initial outbreak, so I'd be interested in a test result now.
