Did anyone think they had Covid in 2019?
I ask this because I got really sick with cough, fever and chest congestion for three days at the end of November. I always questioned if it was here prior to when they announced it in March 2020. Felt different from the flu.

My "first" time was in Nov 2019 and the violent shakes were like having a jack hammer in my skeleton and my lungs filled with fluid.
My daughter in law worked as a nurse at a Hospital and was pregnant. She visited us for Thanksgiving and Christmas 2019. She gave birth on the 28th of Dec. Both her and child had unknown severe virus that hospital didn't know what it was and they had to create new protocol for the Prenatal wing at the hospital in Charlottesville, VA. One week later (Jan 2020) I came down with what I thought was the flu and went to my yearly physical, told my physician, they tested me for influenza came back negative. He told me I had an un known virus. Sent me on my way. Several days later my wife ended up in bed very sick. She went back to see doctor, was tested... not influenza. Told some type of virus Was given steroids for throat infection? Both of us were laid up for over a week. Fast forward to today...neither of us got the shot. Both of us had Covid multiple times.
For 6 months now I am dealing with bad case of long covid. Headaches from hell, mind numbing brain fog. Shortness of breath doing any slight activity. Cough, sleepless nights tired all the time. Using nicotine patch for relief for about a month now
