@zon Thank you for posting this link. a very interesting read. Just a few days ago, my husband, who is a kidney transplant recipient, expressed that the respiratory illness he had back in January might indeed have been COVID-19 before it really had taken hold. Both he and his son had similar illnesses about the same time, and they have individually come to think that they were infected. Fortunately both are well again, but it does make one wonder if there are other situations like that, out there?

We have friends that are in same situation but first week of March. A crazy illness went threw the whole family. I think pretty soon there will be antibody test that will reveal if you had it. When I had all my bloodwork before transplant I found out I had mono. Don’t ever remember having it.

Yes. My friend called me the other day about her brother. In mid December they had a big birthday party for him, a few days later her brother called and told her he's going to the ER because he was running a high fever and couldn't breathe. This is a guy who is healthy and never goes to a doctor. He was given Z pack (?) and sent home. It took him a while to get better. Now looking back at all his symptoms, she was wondering if he had the virus.
