My wife knows 3 people who were hospitalised around Christmas with a flu that caused respitory issues.
Of course, that diagnosis may have been correct.

Then you’d see an uptick in pneumonia or flu cases, don’t know about the former but on More or Less today they said this winter we’d had unusually low flu hospitalisations.

Maybe the corona ate all the flu!
But you're right, you would expect that which is why I wouldn't hang my hat on this theory but I wouldn't totally dismiss it just yet either.

Was a really interesting episode actually. Guy was head of risk analysis at some uni and was saying the death rate for Coronavirus essentially exactly matched the chances of death in the next year (I.e. it raises massively as you age and at the same rate) and it was like the virus takes a years deaths and does them in a few weeks (if left to rip). Quick to also say that doesn’t mean no one would die for the rest of the year though!

It'd be absolute magic if what I had in February was it because although I had basically zero energy and was either burning up or freezing for three weeks, it didn't destroy my lungs as I fear it could.

My girlfriend was coughing like mad last night and was also sweating profusely. Her temp is down today but she still has an aggressive cough.

It's hard to know if it's the virus but I'll be no doubt be getting the same in due course.

Sore throat is the cough dry?

Like i said on here before, they had 6 cases in Walsgrave ICU the week my sister was admitted, all respiratory problems. Not sure if that is unusual but it sounded like it was,

This sounds promising, home test kits possibly available for delivery or in chemists fairly soon

UK coronavirus mass home testing to be made available 'within days'

Thousands of 15-minute home tests for coronavirus will be delivered by Amazon to people self-isolating with symptoms or will go on sale on the high street within days, according to Public Health England (PHE), in a move that could restore many people’s lives to a semblance of pre-lockdown normality.

Prof Sharon Peacock, the director of the national infection service at PHE, told MPs on the science and technology committee that mass testing in the UK would be possible by next week.

I've had a persistent cough for a couple of months now and some weird symptoms. Doctor couldn't work out what it was, even sent me for an x-ray to check it wasn't lung cancer!

He said there was something unusual going around so who knows, maybe more people have had it than we realise. Although if that was the case you have to look into why it didn't spread earlier.

There’s a theory here that it’s been about for longer than reported, I read a while ago about an increase in pneumonia related illness around Christmas time.

Loads of people have had a cough since Christmas - but it'd have to be a mahoosive cover-up if it had been in circulation that long!

Does sound like the symptoms we've been told to look out for. Hopefully you can both go down together!

Sounds like she’ll be too ill for any of that mate, usually all it takes is a slight headache.

Sounds good... so it’s blatantly on the stock piling list in 3 seconds until some c*nt on eBay sells them on at quadruple the price.

Strangely, end of January my 10year old lad had a horrific cough. Dry, and continuous. Kept up a lot of the night slight temperature and fatigue for a couple of days too. I remember saying at the time 'I've never heard a cough like it' . Doctior said it was a respiratory infection but not chest infection and seemed a bit stumped.

There are too many of these instances of corona like symptoms from December in this country online for it to not be a coincidence.

But again as said in the thread, maybe its just straw clutching, but lets hope against hope that it does turn out to be the case. Wouldn't explain all these deaths though

It's quite possible it's been here months, China reported their first case mid November iirc, who knows how long it was going around there before it was flagged up.

Well it’s been 14 days, woken up and feel brighter today. Pain is slowly subsiding, cough and breathing much better but still feel it kicking around not letting go. Hopefully in a few days it will out of my system. Not a pleasant experience!

According to what I've read, recovery from COVID-19 gives no protection from contracting it again in the future so all this talk of 'group immunity' and a possible future vaccine is total fantasy.

I don't think it gives you permanent immunity, but it's more like flu where you're not likely to get it again in a hurry which can slow it down and allow medicine to catch up with it eventually becoming a regular treatable illness. I could be wide of the mark but that's what I've got from it all

Seems there was a 'patient zero' in the UK infected in january from a ski lodge in Austria where it is said the european outbreak started.
I was ill about a month ago with a non stop dry cough and a runny nose with a bit of fever. Nothing to knock me on my arse and I assumed it was a bad cold.

I had the same mid February
Doctors couldn’t work out what it was
Had the X-ray etc but no diagnosis. Especially when I told them I was not a smoker
Really deep persistent cough but a really strange depth to it
Off work for around 10 days

Quite!

The people cheering in the flat upstairs came round for a party earlier, they don't live there and are not even related.
