Max asked on the last board how it is in all 50 states. My personal opinion NOT OFFICIAL, is that it has been here since November/December.

There is copious anecdotal evidence from doctors that they had patients with pneumonia that did not respond to meds. They were sick for a long time. It was not affecting kids. This exact scenario happened to my best friend and her husband in December. They NEVER get lung infections. It was bizarre.

Do you know anyone who had a weird illness in November/December? Unexplained pneumonia?

Folks I waited a bit before looking back. That's a lot of interesting data. I personally believe this thing has been here. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:16
I got stuck in January and immediately thought it was the flu. I tested negative but the clinic said they were seeing quite a bit of a “mystery -- (edited) - kelly Mar 17, 16:57 3
- Isn't that interesting. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:15
- I still have this damn cough 6-7 weeks after my flu. It just doesn't give me a break. I have to chain coughdrops bags a day so my customers - Bacon Mar 17, 16:59 1
  - spoiler: You might have corona. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:17
Not in 2019, but in January I was one of multiple East coast acquaintances with an unusual 48hr 'flu' that was sinus-only with no cough. -- nm - Max Mar 17, 16:42 1
- Hmm, based on your description I would think not covid. Lasts for weeks and is defined by cough. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:17
fwiw a friend from HS runs a centre for communicable diseases at Harvard and says genetics for WA suggest January. - mafic Mar 17, 16:41 4
- I suspect she thinks it's earlyer. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:18 1
  - given the language she used so do I. I'd bet that's the bombproof date. -- nm - mafic Mar 17, 17:38
- I suspect she thinks it's earlyer. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:18

I’ve just had the normal winter crud that comes with having a three year old in preschool. -- nm - znufrii Mar 17, 16:36
And Bacon and his wife were laid out by the "flu" after we came back from the cruise in January. Jenbro and I were okay. -- nm - Meg Mar 17, 16:26 5
- It's not unheard of but with us we both got the flu shot me in early October her in November. It's never close to perfect but I was always told - Bacon Mar 17, 16:36 4
  - I guess you did not get a flu test? -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:19
  - I also got the flu shot. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 17, 16:47 2
    - I think Andie also got it and also got the flu this year if I remember right. -- nm - Bacon Mar 17, 16:50 1
      - Not me. Dave did though. (We both got the shot, he got the flu.) -- nm - Andie Mar 17, 19:07
So... - Dark Callisto Mar 17, 16:26 3
- Suspicious. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:20
- yikes -- nm - Diva Mar 17, 16:42
- huh -- nm - prayformojo Mar 17, 16:31
A fellow member of the archaeological society died of pneumonia in December. She had an underlying condition - obesity - but otherwise healthy. -- nm - Meg Mar 17, 16:24
I had a severe cold that I hadn’t had in years in January after I got back from a week in Italy and one in Dubai. - JackDawson Mar 17, 16:23
My opinion is that Max hasn't heard of the Interstate Highway System -- nm - crash davis Mar 17, 16:12 7
- I told you, it's coming through rifts in the Earth! -- nm - Max Mar 17, 16:37
- Dwight D Eisenhower FTW! -- nm - Strongbad Mar 17, 16:32
- Life is a highway and I want to ride it all night long. -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 16:17
- ha! he might have, but it takes time to spread that far, regardless. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 16:13 3
  - I deal with truckers who can move coast to coast in four to five days. They have to be saving time by not washing their hands thoroughly - crash davis Mar 17, 16:16 2
    - I totally get that. It would still take a while for any virus to spread that deeply. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 16:17 1
      - You're right, but my larger point is still that Max doesn't know we're all connected :) -- nm - crash davis Mar 17, 16:19
Me? but the meds got me better -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 16:11 3
- Can you give details? -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 16:12 2
  - it was definitely pneumonia :) had shingles and got pneumonia right after (July-ish) -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 16:14 1
    - OK, if it's July, I would say not related. Boring pneumonia. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 16:15
On a different note, do you think you can get Coronavirus twice? -- nm - David Mar 17, 16:09 1
- I don't. I think those are cases of poor testing. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 16:10
Me? - Mop Mar 17, 16:09 2
- Can you describe? -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 16:09 1
  - Strangely, one of the symptoms appeared to be a irrational hatred of all things Sony... -- nm - decline Mar 17, 16:25
