Tracking the cases is tricky. Many areas are not testing so not showing up. Also many areas don't have as much people movement to spread virus on a global scale. This is why US is so vulnerable as well as all developed countries.

We can debate fatality rates for days, but if you want to know how bad this could get if we don’t take it seriously or we can’t get enough test kits (which we’re not), all you have to do is look at Italy. Those doctors and nurses will be carrying scars for years from having to decide who to treat and who not to treat. I wouldn’t wish that on anybody.

Crazy how it really stings places like Italy, and then this place pretty much goes unscathed. Wish there were more data on age, sex, healthy/unhealthy on the cases
Newfoundland and Labrador has a case, Christ.
China also had the military patrolling the streets of Wuhan and surrounding area to keep people locked in their homes for the last 2 months.
Baffles my mind people make comments like "only 17000 cases in Italy and it's like the flu, big whoop", well it's only not 100x that cause people are locked in their homes. And at this point if we don't do the same we are ****ed.
Back in January, I have a friend that had a terrible cough for over a week and felt really tired for days. My friend went to the DR. No flu. No strep. The Dr said sinus infection. My friend didn't have a fever. But they had a terrible cough. Crazy bad cough. Anyway, I've was around this person everyday during this Illness. I've experience no symptoms. So maybe it just was a sinus infection but.... who knows now.
It hasn't been around since October. You can effectively date the first appearance in humans through mutations. The mutations line up with the first patient in Wuhan in late November / early December.
But I do think it's fair for you to theorize about your illnesses from that point on. Would not shock me in the least if it's been going around undetected for a while.
Some other news: an older Japanese man who was infected on the Diamond Princess cruise, who later recovered and tested negative, has tested positive for a second time. So it appears you can get infected more than once. The virus has already mutated into two separate strains, so it's also possible he was infected by one and then later infected by the other.
Recently, Opthamologists have been warmed that as people show up at their office with Conjunctivitis (pinkeye) to be vigilant of the possibility of it being a symptom of Covid 19. I am aware that Conjunctivitis can sometimes accompany other respiratory viruses but I've had a number over the years and never had pinkeye. I got very sick in Nov. (much as you described...but not the flu) and it was accompanied by pinkeye. If you read this...throw this in the mix.
Just saw where a bunch of fake tests were seized at LAX. I can't tell you how badly I want to take the assholes that were trying to get these in the country to rip people off and stake them on the biggest fire ant hill I can find.
Reference the earlier comment on gold, silver still going down.... When a market participant needs liquidity they will sell everything not nailed down. This is indicative of a true bear market.
