I had a very mild cold around the beginning of March. Sore throat and a stuffy nose. Come to think of it, I may have just had a bad allergy attack. It was gone in about two days.

Found similar articles in Spain and Chinese newspapers so yeah we can say now the disease was around for at least 3-4 months.
15 Oct 2019 , Italian newspaper predicted a nasty flu that was circuling bad and will affect 6 million people which turn out to be Covic19
L'influenza colpirà 6 milioni di persone
La nuova stagione influenzale «vedrà protagonisti virus più insidiosi e in termini di stime potrà colpire circa 6 milioni di persone». Questa la previ...www.iltempo.it
So Yeah, Covic 19 was circulating freely before it became a pendemic but the newspaper assumed it was a nasty flu.

I had the exact same, beginning of February. Lasted a week. Was so cold I had to get in bed fully clothed and next minute so hot I had to stand outside. I did have a cough and my ribs ached due to coughing so much. I’m in the UK.
Yep, precisely. I was thinking about this weeks ago. The flu kills a lot more people, it is however less contagious to a degree. However, when was the last time the media made mention of deaths attributed to the regular flu strains that occur each winter?
I believe there has been 1 death within a 20 mile radius, but the individual was nearly 70 years old and the hospital without being specific stated the person suffered from more than 3 underlying conditions.
CDC suspects the first European infections came from a tour group in January 2020. As I said, I suspect China is painfully unaware, not fibbing, but unaware of how long this thing has been around. It simple isn't feasible for their variant of the CDC to start pulling up graves and testing for RNA fragments, or even ours here.
My son was sick with the flu in late January. I took him to a Patient First place as it was a weekend and his doctor’s office was not open. He was diagnosed with the Flu. About a week later, I came down with “something” that did not match his flu symptoms. I had a headache, fever, a little cough and muscle aches that lasted for about 5 days. My wife never gets sick but did get a touch of it. My daughter was on antibiotics at that time due to Lymes disease (happy to say she is fully recovered) and did not get anything. Did we have it, who knows? but this gets me into my next paragraph.
If people believed they had it and could possibly help in the effort, is there a resource we can use to get tested and then help in some fashion? I see these lines of people wanting to get tested and then everyone helping gowned to the hilt. Well, if we can prove we have the antibodies in our system, we could be very helpful I think. Recently they’ve mentioned using plasma from people who have had it. Anyone know if that’s viable right now and where do I/we go to donate?

One random day about 2 weeks ago was spent in bed with a fever, I started to worry but then the next day I was OK again.
