COVID-19

Mid February: I had a dry cough that last 10 days, bought 3 bottles of cough medicine to suppress. Tightness in my chest. Temperature fluctuations , never higher than 1 degree. Lost of appetite, and lost 7 pounds. Took me nearly a month to get my appetite back. Lack of energy, but not tired or sleepy. No phlem or congestion.

DX anyone???? Unfortunately many of my employees had what I had

Very similar here and around the same timeline!

This was me mid-January.

When I get sick, it's always just a bad cold. But this was different, and I had exactly what you described here. I ended up going to urgent-care because of the persistent cough and heavy feeling in my chest when I'd go to work or out for a walk. 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!

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?

I’ve never seen such stupidity. Not only with this virus but the fact that an idiotic, racist, sack of lying shit was voted in as president, who downplayed this virus. When this virus is over and I make it through to the other side, I’m still practicing social distancing. I don’t want to get infected with stupidity.
