First Covid Deaths Were Earlier Than Thought

[WhiteTara]

46. We were infected in mid December by someone who had just

come in from Malaysia after spending time with family from Wuhan China. He arrived at our house saying he started feeling unwell after being back in the states after 10 days from leaving his family.

I didn't spend as much time with him so I didn't get the viral load my partner did. I was sick for about a week, mostly stomach aches and diarrhea. Mr. T was so sick and kept saying it was like a band tightening around his chest. Because he uses a Bi-pap he didn't die. He went to the dr 3 times and they tested him for flu and he tested negative each time. They gave him powerful antibiotics that kept him from getting pneumonia and he was in bed for almost 3 weeks. After he started to feel better he would move around and do things and then immediately relapse. It took him several months to really feel better.

I'll bet that the deaths were even earlier than January. The same traveler who came to our house spent time in town at restaurants, shops and a hotel. There was a wave of sickness before Christmas here.
