    We Americans don't go to the doctor when we're sick unless we're on our deathbed. And tests for Negra Modelo Virus have been ludicrously hard to come by.

    I think its been here a while and a TON of people have gotten it and recovered at home without testing. But it was only after it hit an old folks place with a ton of deadly medical conditions that we started paying attention.

    I almost certainly had it. It was worse than any flu ever and the symptoms lined up well with corona.

    The people I got it from (family) had symptoms more perfectly aligned with corona rather than flu. Where did they get it? Probably from a kid at school that a family member nurses at.

    Where did that kid get it? Supposedly lots of kids were getting bad symptoms for a time in that district. The explanation? It was just a bad flu season.

    Given that NOBODY was testing here, it might be very likely that this "bad flu season" we got a few months ago was covid19.

    Americans are not physiologically different from other people. This would not have gone unnoticed. What you had was most likely just the flu.

    +1. Had this disease ripped thru WA unchecked, someone certainly would have noticed the shortage of coffins.

    You are right, it could have been a flu. Nobody knows. Interesting to note: one of the people I know who got sick from the same one I did, had the exact exclusive covid19 symptoms and nothing else.

    There was a noticing of a "bad flu season" that wasn't been tested. People were just getting sicker than usual.

    The first cases in WA were early. Even though we never heard about it spreading from those, the probability that it did spread is very high.
