In reply to the discussion: Have you had Covid? [View all]no_hypocrisy
(46,695 posts)6. About 2 years ago, before Covid had a name or a pandemic recognized,
I must have had it.
How I figured it out:
1. I donated blood 4 months later in 2019 and the results came back that I had Covid antibodies. Two more donations confirmed I had the antibodies.
2. I had the strangest "cold" around Feb. 2019. Sore throat and a paroxysmal cough. With regard to the latter, I'd be lying down and get a coughing spell where I'd cough maybe eight times before I could take a breath. And I'd be struggling to get air, like asthma (which I don't have). It would be like coughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcough -- GASP! -- coughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcough. I didn't go to the doctor and of course, I had no idea about Covid.
