short story - I work in new industry where new immigrants are in our offices everyday. The largest group come from China for the PNP program - we have to ask people's experience and where in my industry and many said they just arrived from China.
Back in late October I got a "cold" which quickly turned into a nasty chest infection, non stop coughing, fever and body aches. They thought it was the flu with a chest infection and I was having issues breathing using my rescue inhaler more than the prescribed amount. I was put in an antiviral and antibiotic and did not get better. I never take time off work but I couldn't sleep, even with codeine for cough, because I would wake up coughing liquid out of my lungs.
Back to the doctor and was prescribed prednisone and another antibiotic which did little to nothing. I gave it another week an back to the doctor and was sent for a chest x-ray which showed I had pneumonia. Off to the docs and this time I found it off she had a mask on and prescribed more prednisone and avalox - a strong antibiotic and was told to go the Er if I could not breath.
This virus and coughing lasted to Christmas and I slowly got better.
I was chatting with @Bigtuna84 at the time and he asked me if they tested me for the Corona virus but it wasn't suspected as it started a little earlier before China got hit.
I had every symptom and I'm not saying I had it but due to being so sick I was isolated at home for two weeks just because I couldn't work as I lost my voice from coughing. I would walk from my downstairs to upstairs and need my puffer as I would be so out of breath. Anyway - I thought I would share this as it was coincidental and bad but I got through it.
Just thinking last night when chatting with Mr. Tuna did I have it? Don't know.
Food for thought. Wife did get it from me too and she coughed for three weeks but wasn't as bad as me and didn't get pneumonia.
Hope everyone is healthy.
take care,
GR
