ewerk 30370 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 My wife is convinced that she had it when we were in New York in December 2019. It completely wiped her out for about five days. Feeling unwell, fever, persistent cough etc. all the covid symptoms. This is despite the fact that we went to the doctor over there where she took a diagnostic test and tested positive for the flu...

trooper 940 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 The thing about this virus as we know it took quite a long time before any official acknowledgement from China about covid. Given there weren't any travel restrictions in or out of the country. Surely its quite feasible that this was starting to spread around the world. Where doctors were mistaking it for flu symptoms.

Generally the simplest explanation is the most likely. However, with no medical basis I do wonder whether there could have been a milder, less contagious version of covid 19 in circulation earlier than first known and what hit us in March 2020 was actually a mutation that began in Wuhan?

But mutations happen at a single place and point in time too, there is always a patient zero somewhere, so that also doesn't really make sense. What does is people get ill with respiratory viruses every year, especially flu in winter. Then they wrongly retrospectively ascribe their symptoms to coronavirus. That's what's happening here imo.

ewerk 30370 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'm just saying that given Gemmill's immune system is about as robust as a chocolate fire guard that if covid was already in the country then he was definitely likely to have been its first victim. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21393 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 An update on my Dad. He's now entering his 4th week in hospital and I still can't see him because I'm not the designated person. He's being transferred to a rehabilitation home, which could be for several weeks. I'm still not allowed to see him there either. So it will be months without seeing him if he gets out alive. I've now been informed my Mum, as designated person, can't see him either without a daily negative lateral flow test. She is in no way capable of doing this herself, so I will have to do it for her. I'm on holiday next week so she won't be able to see him then when I'm not here. Honestly, I am so sick of this virus and its implications. I've been tripled jab, am happy to lateral flow myself and wear PPE, yet I can't see him (despite being in frequent contact with my Mum). Yet I can do what the fuck I like in a pub etc. Makes no sense to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Is this to do with power of attorney or are they just not letting people in hospitals? My uncle (89 y/o) was in for a few weeks a month or so back and we weren’t allowed in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
