The Denny theory; is there a possibility you've had Covid19?

[Dead Duck]

So the U.S. had the virus first and one of our infected Americans went to China and gave it to a monkey in a meat market that just happens to be located within a mile from the only laboratory in the whole country of China that stocks the Coronavirus and tests it on monkeys that a lab assistant admits selling to a local meat market.


Ya...
I guess that could happen.

Wife and I were both sick 2 months ago. I had it then she had started about a week later. Fever for 4 days, bad cough for 2 weeks. I was wondering if it was the corona, but I read that of the people they tested in the US with respiratory infections, the positive is only about 1%, so the odds are it wasn’t the corona.

Ive read the vast majority have mild symptoms and recover on their own. Stay in shape, eat right (lift weights and eat red meat ), and stay hydrated is my basic strategy for being healthy in general.

Odds are what they are using instead of a test. My sis is an ICU nurse at Methodist and she was helping a very sick older lady who possibly has the bug. However, the State won't give then the test to find out. My sis is now at home sick, could be flu could be this bug. Soonest the State will test her in a week or so. So, she treating this as the flu and so far it's reacting this way. I think the State only has 100 test kits. Symptoms for this range from runny nose to death. So as you could imagine, it is possible that lots of people have it and never knew it. There was no way to test for it.

Thanks for (unknowingly) helping me start this thread. I think we've got some interesting results, while obviously incidental.
It'd be great to see a post-infection test. The way we might know, again somewhat incidentally, is that we actually won't get it this time around since we've already had it. Once again, pure speculation.

Hope and pray for the best for your sis!

Man that's some serious circular reasoning. The more oftener I read it the confusedider I get.

Thank you kind sir. It is appreciated.

Sounds like they are narrowing down on the original host. Fish market employees may have been the first to get sick.

So rather than some monkey and organ grinder at the meat market (organ grinder...get it? ) it could be Flipper in the sashimi section.

Don't eat sushi!

 

[CampingJosh]

I'm confident that I have not had it. I'm pretty good at social distancing as a lifestyle, and I haven't had any symptoms to suggest any illness since well before this was discovered.

I had a bout with a respiratory illness in December that matches COVID-19 symptoms. The dry cough and wheezing was the worst part of it, those lasted for about 3 weeks. Very hard to get your breath at times. The fever and muscle aches were gone in about 3 days. General tiredness an additional day. No GI issues. Moderate headache the whole time.

I passed it to the whole family and two coworkers despite universal precautions with the family and keeping my distance at work. Kids were down about one day, wife was similar to me. One of the coworkers was out a solid week and a half. The other works no matter what.

I had a flu shot.

My conclusion? There are a lot of viral respiratory illnesses and they have similar symptoms. Could have been, could not have been. It really doesnt matter, it still sucked.

Especially the bat and monkey sushi!

They thought it was this guy that caused the problem. A pangolin. Maybe vectored from a bat.

Wow, I didn't know China had hard-shell possums too!

Sort of between and anteater and armadillo.

I've been told you can pick up leprosy from armadillos.

Nasty critters.

I'd heard the same about armadillos. And they're moving north apparently.

 

[Trigger Time]

Yep I'm sure it was here in the U.S. in December. Washington state testest a previous flu victims sample from last year and determined he had C19. It's been moving among us for a while.
It was moving around China for at least a month before they admitted.
I'm pretty sure I had it in December. Very bad.

I have a friend in the Portland, OR, area who had a high fever and a bad cough for two weeks or so and finally got over it a couple of weeks ago. That was before anyone knew what it was.

Introvert? If so, like me, we we’ve been training for this our entire lives.

I stocked up on enough ham and dried beans and cornbread mix for a couple of big batches. If I'm forced to survive on ham 'n beans for awhile, social distancing won't be a problem even if I go out in public.
