I have 4 friends who were deathly ill in January. I know 2 had traveled just prior, one to Vegas where there were tons of Chinese tourists. One drove 28hrs in 2 days so I feel like her resistance was pretty broken down. 1 was my supervisor who worked through it (I was on vacation) and i think infected a couple of coworkers.

I think the human body is such a miracle we should not take for granted. Treat your body well so it has a fighting chance against these biological onslaughts.

No I haven't had flu like symptoms since spring 2015. Temps spiked up to 102.5 many times. Never went to doctor so never found out if it was a bad cold or the flu.

Science says otherwise. Unless you are a Chinese bat?

Did you not read the part where they said they still don't know where or when covid 19 jumped from animals to humans? Since it is natural it could have been around forever.

If it has been around forever why do no humans have immunity to it??

Why are we only NOW seeing the deaths and not 6 months or 6 years ago???

Yes, indeed.

One thing I haven't seen any statistics on or any discussion of is how the numbers of deaths of elderly and/or comorbidity cases in this COVID-19 hysteria era compare to the numbers of deaths in same groups prior to the panic. After all, nobody has batted an eye at tens of thousands of flu deaths every year in mostly the same population. There is nothing new about old people and sick people dying. How many more are dying today as COVID-19 hysteria is destroying life as we've known it for hundreds of years than were dying a year ago in an equivalent time frame?

Substantially more? Any more? Or have we simply stumbled upon a previously unlabeled subset of "natural causes"?

Analysis of the genes of the virus tell us it is new and emerged first in China in November or December, 2019.

Both of my parents were very sick around 3 weeks ago. My mom was so bad she thought she would be admitted to the hospital, but her doc told her she had bronchitis and gave her meds. It sure would be nice to know if they had this virus and are now immune. There needs to be more testing for antibodies.

Yep....there are so many similar experiences out there. I have detailed mine in a couple of other threads. I've never in my life had anything like what I came down with on or about January 18th. It was never life-threatening, but it sure wasn't a cold or flu anything like I'd ever had.

My suspicion is that CV could have come to and swept through California early and that is why we appear to be doing so much better than NY, NJ, and others now. Nobody was testing for CV until when? Early March?

Some might ask why California didn't have large numbers of deaths in those early days. Who says we didn't? Certainly, with a population of 40 million, there were lots of deaths. But without suspicion of or testing for CV, they weren't recorded as such.

We for sure need those antibody tests.
