I'm really convinced I already had Covid before it was known worldwide. I went to the beach and walked by some bars on the way for New Years (2020) and as soon as I got home. I had chills, body ache and fatigue. I was sick for like 2 weeks even lost my taste for a few days but luckily after a lot of cold medicine and ibuprofen I managed to recover from it. I fully believe I had it in late 2019 too. Before I'd even heard about it, my friends from home came to visit me at University that November and we went out to a club that night with some friends from my classes. One of them was coughing and seemed a bit ill but we were all drunk and thought nothing of it. A few days passed and they texted me while on the journey home saying they felt just about every symptom now related to Covid. I had woken up that day with a headache and later that night I started feeling ill myself and ended up having a cough that lasted until New Years though my other symptoms were gone within a couple weeks. I did the same and stocked up on cold medicine and ibuprofen and have been fine since. My mum caught it at work in April though so her, my brother and I all had to isolate. She was fine after the 14 day period but it took a bit longer for her to get her sense of taste back. Neither my brother or I felt ill but I'm assuming we were both asymptomatic as there would have been no way to avoid it with all 3 of us in the same house (though I didn't get tested). It was during the first lockdown anyway so we had no reason to leave the house, I didn't end up going out again myself other than for a run until May or June. that's what's so difficult about it...a lot of people I've spoke to believe they had it as far back as January or February of last year. I myself had respiratory symptoms that were similar to bronchitis but not the exact same. confusing times.

This is what I call a THREAD. It's been really disappointing to see so many wrestlers and companies not taking it seriously enough -- will never look at someone like Chris Jericho the same after the past year. Too bad. Disappointing to see the US government also not take it seriously enough, but that's a discussion that'll get the thread locked. To stay on topic, I've not had it, but I've got family members who have had it.

My brother, my sister-in-law, my niece & my nephew's girlfriend have it. My 7 month old grand nephew has a slight fever, but didn't get his results back yet. As of last night, they are all feeling better. I don't think they got the vaccine, though. Please be careful, folks. Like Jack Specific said- there are a lot of idiots who don't know how to properly wear their masks. Keep your distance & wash your hands. And it absolutely disgusts me that I still see people spitting in public. I think most know how, they just don't care. A couple of weeks ago we were at a Wawa getting some food to take home. You really have to be careful there because it's not a big place and there is a lot of people in there most of the time and people there are notorious for pulling their masks down or not even wearing one. It's one of the reasons I try to avoid Wawa for the most part. SO back on track... I kid you not, gods honest truth, there was a guy there that had one of those winter hats/mask that had the eyes exposed... and wait for it... the mouth exposed! Yep only the nose was covered. That was his mask. Is anyone really that stupid? man oh man.... humans. I have family in the restaurant business. There’s been times that they’ve had customers come in without masks, and they offered them a mask and told them to put it on if they wanted service, the customers got angry and started making threats. It’s also tough for the chefs in the kitchen. I hope people keep that in mind. Even pre-Covid, the intense heat made it hard to breath, and kitchen staff often got exhausted from a regular day’s work. Add a mask to that, further restricting breathing and adding to the heat. I know a chef who ended up in the ER because of his mask. The doctor explained to him that mask, in combination with the heat and business, caused a panic attack. While he was having the panic attack, he went out the front door and pulled his mask down to catch his breath. Apparently, a customer reported the restaurant to the health department. When he returned to work a couple days later, he was served a fine, on top of his ER bill and the fact that business was already drastically down, due to capacity restrictions. I feel like there’s inconsiderate people and people who honestly have no idea what to do. In the US at least, Covid has been highly politicized, and the medical guidance is constantly changing. Just on the topic of masks alone, Dr. Fauci has admitted to lying when he initially said not to wear masks. Then there’s so many politicians caught breaking their own rules. I try to just use my own best judgement and apply what I’ve learned about how things work over my life. I wear a mask, not because someone who seems to be pushing an agenda says to. I wear a mask because I know that even if it’s not the most effective thing, it at least catches and/or diffuses most of the particles. That’s also why I wear multi-layered masks. However, you’ll never see me wearing a mask while I’m driving alone in my car. I see people driving with masks on, fiddling with it, trying to get some air and I think “You’re gonna kill someone in a car accident before Covid is even an issue.” If I’m in an Uber, it’s different. We don’t know each other or wear the other has been. Also, there’s situations with people who have special needs. I have a relative who wears a mask, but doesn’t know what’s going on I the world or why people wear masks. That’s another common thing I’ve seen being around restaurants. People don’t understand the importance of the mask, so they end up wearing them incorrectly or keep forgetting to pull it up.

This is what I call a THREAD. It's been really disappointing to see so many wrestlers and companies not taking it seriously enough -- will never look at someone like Chris Jericho the same after the past year. Too bad. I mean it does have a 99.9% survival rate. you have higher chance of getting in a car wreck. If its going to kill you it will, if not then it wont. its random. The amount of people who died in 2020 is around the same as 2019. also heart disease and cancer deaths have plumeted...i wonder why. this is coming from somone who has had covid.

I had the same symptoms everyone else did, my 18 month old son tested positive...1+1=2.My family got sick, i got sick less than 5 days later. Why test if i know i have it? My family quarantined for 2 weeks like the health department told us to.

My family quarantined for 2 weeks like the health department told us to. I mean yeah the overwhelming odds are that you had it, though I'm actually really surprised your health department didn't make you get tested when you developed symptoms. We're required here to get a test if we develop symptoms after being identified as a close contact. (Contrarily, if we don't develop symptoms, we aren't required to get tested, and I actually got told there was really no need to overwhelm our testing capacities at this point if I wasn't showing symptoms and was isolating).

They wont know what i dont tell them. Government doesn't need to know everything.

I haven't so far.
My girlfriend was notified by her employer that a student tested positive and they urged her to get tested. She took a PCR test and it came back positive while mine was negative. She re-took a PCR test since no one else from her school had tested positive and the PCR test came back negative (as did my 2nd one). She spoke with a rep from the state Board of Health and he speculated that her positive result was likely a false positive but advise her to quarantine for 10 days regardless. My parents have tested negative as well, which was a big relief.
My aunt had it back in March and was quite sick but eventually recovered. Her brother passed away from it, though.

Moderator -- this guy is spreading indisputable lies (99.9 survival, it's random). Pathetic. Why don't you go learn how to read.

By the way -- aside from all your false and misleading info, you're wrong about car accidents. An annual amount of 38,000 people die per year in car accidents. So if you get COVID in America, you actually have a 10X greater chance of dying than in a car accident. And those numbers are only from March-January -- so it will be even higer. Learn to educate yourself. And check what other people say before you believe it. www.asirt.org/safe-travel/road-safety-facts/
