Covid here in December 2019
A lot of people knew it was here earlier once it was announced - as they were sick like as if they had the flu but tested negative. It's just odd that it came out now as news where so many people realized this already.

I find this so interesting. I rarely get sick, and the last week of December 2019 I had a bug that lasted for a week+. I have never been so sick in my life. A cough that caused me to sleep sitting up all night and I often felt like I couldn't breathe. The exhaustion was mind blowing as well. I have been wondering on and off for the last year if that was Covid - even though everyone keeps telling me the timeline doesn't work.
I wonder if you'd still have antibodies if you tested for them. I'd be curious too if I were you.
Not that it matters, but it's kind of interesting

I mean the minute there was a case out of our country, it was only a matter a time. I think the first case of “community spread” was in Colorado? I feel like it was somewhere out West. We were doomed from the start because that’s how global pandemics go. I remember being freaked out and everyone was shrugging, but I saw Contagion and knew what we were in store for 
Yeah wasn’t it a nursing home in Seattle too?
Maybe. That sounds familiar but I can’t recall. I just remember waiting and waiting and then next thing know, case confirmed on Long Island.
I feel like once the news hit that the NBA was canceled and then Broadway, people finally woke up and realized that shitt hit the fan. It was a Thursday I think and I remember dropping something off at the school and seeing a lot of kids in the nurse’s office waiting to be picked up. Teachers were sending kids down for temp checks who looked a little off. It was so weird. Then the next day it seemed everyone who could was told to start working from home, then schools closed..most thinking it would just be a couple weeks.
I think the trauma of it all is something that we haven’t processed yet, but it’s eerie when I reflect on the last “normal” day.

Exactly. Nothing new about this "news".
Whether it was here in Jan, Dec, Nov or whenever it changes nothing. It's irrelevant information. Anyone who was sick back then thought they had a random bug as there were no PCR tests or antibody tests. COVID being here earlier than we thought certainly wouldn't have changed anything other than maybe we could have locked down sooner which we know would have made some people's heads pop off.

I had the same experience as Isabelle, but I was tested for antibodies in June of 2020 and did NOT have them.

I swear to you I had it in 2013.
Sickest I've ever been.
Perhaps it was another strain of a Coronavirus.
Or maybe I am patient zero and it just was dormant for 7 years.
Omg maybe you were the first!!! Lolololol
I will try not to burst your bubble but this is ALL coronavirus so all of this is probably just strains like we will have in the future too.

This is not really new news.
And what impact does this have on us now?
Exactly.
A bigger impact than what people put on a cheeseburger or hot dog. I can tell you that.

Re: Covid here in December 2019
Seems like Covid discussions on this board are much less than fluff lately.
Once again, if you don’t like a subject, just go to the next one you want to be involved in.

Re: Covid here in December 2019
We swore we had it then too. The entire store (we have a retail business) was sick. One girl was hospitalized and 2 had pneumonia. The one had the full body rash too that can be related to Covid. We were tested for antibodies about 5 mo after we all had the mystery virus and we didn’t have them but one of the girls who was really sick did!
So I’m pretty sure I’ve had it 2x and my second time around was so much worse. But I don’t have proof for the round in dec 2019/jan 2020.

Re: Covid here in December 2019
No one claimed it to be, but you guys are insinuating it should be a Covid free board and put a dumb comment about impact when there is other meaningless posts on here that no one is b!tching about and have less than zero impact.
You have to realize the irony and how dumb that sounded? But you won’t, so carry on with an illogical debate with yourself on my response.
Eta: it was also a joke, lighten tf up.

Friends and I have had similar conversations. We have wondered whether it was an earlier, less contagious variant in 2019. I mean, the hospitals and morgues didn't fill up. But illnesses were up, it seemed. And people say they couldn't smell or taste anything.

Same here. My sister lost sense of taste/smell - still doesn't have it back fully. I had a cough that hurt my chest so much, I was afraid to cough. And a killer headache every day for a while.
I always suspected it was here earlier than the government said.

Covid here in December 2019
This is splitting hairs. Dec 2019 or Jan 2020 does not really make a difference and isn’t news IMO. News would be if it was here in 2017 or something like that.

They have been telling us January/February for 15 months. People have assumed it was here longer then that.

Covid here in December 2019
I 100% think it was here prior to what they are reporting, they just didn't know it yet. The end of January/early Feb a good portion of our elementary school was out with the "flu". My daughter only had 3 kids in her class for over a week.

Again, who cares?
Explain why this matters? We're a year and a half into all of this and coming out on the other side of the pandemic, finally. Whether the first people were sick with COVID in November or January really doesn't matter. It doesn't change anything this minute nor would've changed anything then. What month it showed up is just an irrelevant detail at this point.

I had a coworker whose son was so sick in December and was tested twice for the flu and they told him he did not have it. We thought it was so odd.
Teacher friends had kids all sick in January and no flu either.
I think any research is good research. Not sure why it is a bad thing to report this.

If you don’t care, why do you keep posting to a thread you have no interest in?
Others are speaking of their experiences and seem to be interested. Not everyone agrees you with as hard as you don’t want to believe that.

Oh honey, we know you'll never let a post fall too far. You'll undoubtedly have some "phone glitch" where you push up everything you're commenting on should that ever happen.
