As of 9 PM my wife was still sick with headache, sore throat and fever of 99.4F I am headache, sore throat, chest pain and 99.2F fever. Not high enough to go for Covid-19 testing.
So not knowing what hit us Sunday morning we are quarantining in place.

Then she started feeling better & was fine a week later. Then I started feeling it on Sunday 2/16. Felt LOUSY all the following week - low grade fevers all week, dry cough, sore lungs (something I've never felt before) for 3 weeks, a little bit of a sore throat & sore ears. I went to my doctor on Sat. 2/22. They did blood work, chest X-ray, urine sample, etc. Gave me a shot of Depomedrol & put me on an antibiotic just-in-case, & 36 hours later I was feeling a lot better. Now - feeling fine. Then my other daughter got it & my wife had symptoms - both had it mild. In my wife, the cough has held-on. We may have very well had this, before all the hype.
Typically, if I get something like this, it's usually in the dead of winter - Dec, Jan. VERY unusual for me to get something like this this time of year. You guys should be fine - just like getting over the flu. Keep us posted!
It does not matter right now if what we have is Covid-19 or the common Flu going around. What matters is SOMEONE was sick and decided it was nothing and went out in public to spread the wealth. That person is one of the many that did not take precautions and the MAIN reason these Virus's become Pandemic's. My wife and I are breaking the chain by NOT going out and staying in isolation.
So, the few on here that think this is a hoax, I hope (and pray) that you recover 100% from this virus WHEN it hits you. Its not IF if you do not take heed and protect yourself and your love ones. But it may skip you and hit your mother/sister/child because you though "Its nothing to worry about".
And as of this morning, Wife still same and running 100.2F. I am the same and running 100.8F. Still below the local guidelines for the Covid-19 testing. It is so far better for us to stay isolated. Our son and daughter call a few times a day so we have that lifeline.
