I could be wrong about this but am pretty sure I had it in December,. When tests become readily available, I will get tested and do what I can to help. Just in my small corner of the world, about six of my friends had respiratory infections around the same time. It kicked us all in the butt. Only one of us ended up in the hospital. She was diagnosed with allergic bronchitis. Just my guess, as a none medical professional...but this virus has been with us longer than anyone has realized. It has gone misdiagnosed. There are probably people who have died from the virus, without it being recorded. There are probably people who have had it and recovered with about as much discomfort that strep throat would dish out.
