I think I may have had it - mild case - earlier in March. The fever and cough were brief for me but had lasting chest pain/shortness of breath for about a week and also had anosmia, which appeared first and very suddenly with no other sinus issues. Generally felt unwell for about two weeks.
Obviously no testing for mild cases so I don't know for sure but it definitely wasn't flu or a cold.
Who else thinks they might have had it and when? |

Definitely
I was had a really bad chest infection in January which started with a dry cough and temperature. It turned in to the worst productive cough I have ever had and went through most of my colleagues at work.

I'm 99.9% sure I've had it. I work in NHS healthcare. A few of my colleagues have been tested positive, although they weren't testing when I had it. I had a big temp, mind flu symptoms and it felt like someone was sitting on my chest and holding my throat. Had a chesty, dry cough since and feel knackered. |

I don’t buy that it started in China in December either.
A British teacher working in China died of unknown causes in September after suffering from flu-like symptoms. The Chinese government wouldn’t release the body to the family (still on bbc news website this).
I don’t buy in to the conspiracy theories, but there is more to it than we currently know for me.
When the dust settles we’ll hopefully get to the bottom of it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t say it’s been in the UK since December (given the amount of Chinese students, tourists and business workers that hop in and out of the country).
Let’s just hope that Chinese people don’t get stigmatised or persecuted over it.

First official case is known to be November 17th. Which smells like at least October to me, September wouldn't surprise me. Anecdotally I know healthy, young(ish) people who had "the worst flu in the world" right at the start of January in Europe and if it wasn't coronavirus then I'll eat my hat. |

I thought I had it late December but there were 'supposedly' no cases in U.K. until 2020 ....
Later reading suggests that the virus was about for weeks before the Chinese reported it......
As soon as anti body tests are available im buying ........ |

Same, although I'm reading more that there's not enough evidence right now to support the idea that you get immunity after having the virus. THAT is really worrying! |

There is though, you just won't like the source. |

There has only been ONE report (that I've seen) of anyone catching it twice. That seems like quite good evidence from over 2 million infections.

I know the first known case was identified 17th November however, they didn’t just happen upon it. What made them check for something different? How did they make a link between cases? I suspect it was high numbers of similar deaths that got them to the point of trying to identify what the issue was and that would have happened before 17th November. |

I had a mild couple of day illness and considering I worked picking people up from the airport I find it hard to believe I've not been in contact with it so all in all think I either have had it or I've some immunity doesn't mean I'm pushing my luck though |

Yup, that's the first recorded case in wuhan (Hibei province) but genetic analysis found older cases in Guangzhou province meaning the virus actually travelled to wuhan first which could have taken a while. |

I came down with a temperature and dry cough with a bit of breathlessness five weeks ago this coming Wednesday. Back to normal aside from the cough hanging round. I come into contact with a lot of people from all over the country through work and I reckon it came from there. |

That's true .. I have the flu jab .. and 2 days before Xmas ..I had the worst flu ever ..
I don't milk it when i get ill .. and I have real flu once about 15 years ago.
But this was something else
(Before of any real talk of covid -19 )
I was crawling to the bath room and to move ..and in 3 days ..had about 4 bottles of cough syrup ..and used up a whole now asthma inhaler in about 3 days ..
So I'm sure I had it then |
