    This fucking makes sense because my partner caught a strange respiratory infection around March that year

    Like, they thought it was strep throat for a bit, but they got waylaid for three straight months with a bunch of (what we know now as) COVID symptoms

    It was nuts because she went to the doctor like five times and they kept telling her it was nothing to worry about because "Lots of people have been showing up with symptoms like these and they're fine because it wasn't showing up on strep or flu tests"

      Reminds me of an old joke.

      What do you call the person who finished bottom of the class in medical school?

      Doctor.

      Wow, the same exact thing was happening in early 2020 at a school I worked at. A bunch of teachers kept getting sick and everyone just kinda thought it seemed like strep but people weren't testing positive for strep.

      Then in mid February 2020 I had a weird illness for a week, not too bad but nothing like any cold or flu I have had before. Probably wasn't covid but looking back on it I wonder.
