This post, along with hundreds(?) more at this point, seem to indicate that you, and others, are in favor of this outbreak. Almost like you will be disappointed when this issue has ended. Like, your enjoying this whole situation. You wouldn't want all of this doom and gloom talk to come to fruition just to be...right, would you?
By the way, Pennsylvania is doing many of the same things all the other knee-jerk states are doing. Is it helping? Officially, I don't know but our infected numbers supposedly have doubled the last two days. You make the call.
I think my wife and a co-worker MAY have had this virus the first week of November. They had many of the same symptoms as The Wuhan. Five to ten days after my wife recovered, I started showing the same symptoms. I had a high fever for a week, aches, cough, tightness in my chest into mid December. No respiration problems. It sucked but not the worst illness I had experienced. However, prior to this one, I know I never had an illness like this one. All symptoms hit me within 24 hours.
My son came home for Thanksgiving break, about the time I had started to see improvement in my condition. He returned to school fine. He returned for Christmas break in mid December. One day before he returned home for break, one day after his first symptoms, he went to the doctor at school. He tested negative for the flu. He had the same symptoms. When he came home, he went to our family physician and was prescribed a Z-pack. His symptoms subsided much quicker than mine or the others I mentioned above. Could have been the meds, could have been his age.
I also question the claim of permanent lung damage to those who recover. IF what I had was The 'Rona, I have not recognized any changes in my respiratory function. I currently have a sitting heart rate of 55 and routinely jog a 7.5 minute mile with little exertion at 48 years old.
Moral of the story; I SURVIVED THE CHINESE FLU!!!!!(maybe)
