I’m pretty sure I had coronavirus starting on February 14. I caught a flu like virus from my son (who barely had symptoms). It was strange. I knew coronavirus was circulating at the time but didn’t think it was already in my area. My doctor dad said I didn’t have the flu, but instead “an extremely bad cold.” I had fever, malaise, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, I coughed up mucous from my chest. It was horrendous for about 5-6 days; I got a blood draw (CBC) on day 4 or so that showed no signs of infection (it was actually perfect but with the white blood cells on the slightly lower end of normal, typical of a virus. I started taking a zpack on the 5th day and by 24 hours I felt much better. Apparently z packs have anti inflammatory benefits (in addition to being antibiotics).My husband also got this virus and we agree it was the weirdest illness of our lives. And my daughter got it - 5 full days after her initial exposure. She too had mild symptoms. My children are newly 7 and 4. And I’m 41 (husband is also 41). Take care and i love your site! | Symptoms: Chest Pain
