Once in October 2019, once in January 2022 and I THINK a 3rd time last week.
Ditto and DbmI've never been tested for Covid, but as far as I know I've never contracted it. I have not had any of the symptoms.
I mask too. After I got it last July I decided to start wearing my mask again. I avoid crowds. Heck…what am I talking about! I avoid people!! All kidding aside …I’m a bit of an introvert and I love being cozy at home doing my hobbies and Covid has been a great excuse to not make excuses for not wanting to go to parades, parties ..etc. I do miss seeing live music and plays though.Covid virgin, Vaccinated and boosted. Still mask and take precautions including not going into large crowds when not necessary.
My parents in SC (East Coast) had it November 2019 - January 2020. My mom, before her retirement in 2020, was an ED/ER nurse at a trauma 2 hospital near the coast/beach.Where were you in October 2019; any idea how you were exposed?
I think considering you have emphysema I am quite shocked that you only had very mild Covid. That’s great!No vaccine, no mask. Had covid in spring 2022. My only symptoms were a tightness in my throat and a very runny nose. I have emphysema and had only those slight symptoms.
That does sound horrible!I wanted to add - When I had the fist Covid infection in April 2020 it was a completely different experience than the second time I got it. The second infection - two years later never went in my lungs, but I thought it was trying to kill me by cutting off any air getting through my nostrils. I literally could not get air though my nose and was a mouth breather for almost two weeks. Nothing would ease the congestion - not even a neti pot could break up the congestion. It was awful.
We’re in lil ol’ Montana & I’m pretty sure my husband had it in 12/19 too. He and a couple of his co-workers were bedridden/miserable for a full week. Super winded, dry cough, high fever, body aches. He had two negative flu tests, but they gave him Tamiflu anyway. That did nothing.My parents in SC (East Coast) had it November 2019 - January 2020.

My husband is 100% sure had it in December of 2019. Back then, before he had it a second time, he said it was the sickest he had ever been, even though he nearly died of pneumonia (& hospitalized) some 25 years before. He got it again in late December 2021 through now as he’s a long hauler. In 2019 he worked in Maryland about 20-ish minutes outside of D.C.
I had a friend who had toured China — NEAR Wuhan in Nov 2019 and she and her husband came back to the US sicker than they had ever been in their lives. No testing was available then and we barely knew about Covid, but they are both sure now they had Covid, contracted in China and brought back to the US with them. Both were very sick for 2 solid weeks with all the symptoms of Covid. She is a PHd in the medical research field and I’ve known her for 30 years and I believe her!We’re in lil ol’ Montana & I’m pretty sure my husband had it in 12/19 too.

It’s kind of funny how docs can be so insistent that the first U.S. cases hit in January. We weren’t testing before then, especially in areas with relatively low population density. I wonder if outcomes would have been different if tests got to the communities sooner.
Absolutely. I'm sure it didn't help early identification that C-19 seems to be a virus that breaks all the rules. To this day, we know almost nothing about risk factors. I've had it twice. First round was in July 2020, pre-vax. I would never have known I had it, but I had to test for a work matter. I didn't get it again until this November (as far as I know). I was fully vaxxed, and I did get pretty sick that time. Counting 2019, my fully-vaxxed partner has had it four times, and was symptomatic every time.I had a friend who had toured China — NEAR Wuhan in Nov 2019 and she and her husband came back to the US sicker than they had ever been in their lives.

Los Angeles but I live in SF so could have been exposed in either. Couldn't get into any clinic, they told me to stay put because there was a "mystery virus" going around.Where were you in October 2019; any idea how you were exposed?
