I was talking to my partner about this today!! In January I was coughing non-stop, running a fever, had no sense of taste or smell. I was so sick one day that I was too sick to watch television while I laid on the couch! We wonder the same thing- did I have it in January?

They prescribed me cough medicine - said for a dry cough, the over-the-counter stuff doesn't truly work. It helped. But I was still tired, achy, no appetite, and I nearly passed out twice on my way to work on the subway and turned around and went back home. I don't know if I ever had a fever, but they took my temperature at urgent-care and said it was in the "normal range".
Many people have been saying they were sick in the same way in January and February and wonder if coronavirus started here earlier than initially reported.
In other news, my mom is finally starting to feel better. She still has the same symptoms, but they're much less severe and she thinks she's finally starting to bounce back. We're all hopeful the worst is over!
