I’ve heard a lot of people with similar stories in retrospect. In early 2020 I also had a 3 week long dry persistent cough, which is also very unusual for me. I can’t help but wonder…

People are way too eager to reduce fevers with medication. I will always remember when my youngest son had a high fever- his paediatrician told me he never treats fever until it gets to dangerous levels (the exact opposite advice as what most doctors/nurses give people). The body knows what it’s doing…trust it.

I’ve read that one reason the flu pandemic was so deadly in 1918 was that the new medication, aspirin, was overly used to combat fevers and therefore fevers were not allowed to do their work.

Had it Nov-Dec 2019. Lost 10% of my body wt, was working for someone who is employed at a Chinese Acupuncture School who was ill, so it makes sense. Healed with Burdock root tea, no docs no hospitals. Was 3 months before I heard anything from our gov on it, all wrong of course. So glad I was sick before the hubris.

My partner and I both got a covid like illness that we assumed to be flu in August 2019 while on holiday in Vanuatu. Both sick for about 4 days, one after the other. We are both in our early 30s and healthy, and didn't think much of it other than it was the first time either of us had been sick in several years. There's a lot of Chinese development in Vanuatu, so I figured about a year ago that it would be interesting to take a serology test. That was when I found out that they banned them from import in NZ in April 2020...

....are you aware that Robert Malone - wasn’t antivaxx - but converted after reading Robert Kennedy jr’s book: “The Real Anthony Fauci” partly because it’s so well documented..?

We swim in cold water a few times a week and for the last two years have had chilblains.

Goes with the territory I suppose, but last year at this time (and again now) I also got quite bad, open sores on both hands for about a month.

The doctors couldn't identify it.

The only thing I saw that looked like it was when I stumbled across an image labelled "covid chilblains" where a doctor had seen a huge rise in the complaint for the first time in his career.

That was when I first saw it listed as a vascular disease and not a respiratory one.

First, I had the same fever reaction in early December 2021 when I tested positive the next day. 39.x in the morning, 37.x around midday.

Second, Australia had a strange flu season in 2019, which peaked in mid July instead of September like usually (https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/Influenza/Publications/2020/january-influenza-report.pdf) with a death count like a bad flu year. Usually Europe receives the flu after Australia (i.e. Sept 16 and Sept 17 did see a lot of deaths in Australia, as did winter 16/17 and 17/18 in Europe), but winter 19/20 was light in flu in Europe but had Covid.

Third, Covid19 running unstopped through Australia and Asia would explain the low case and death counts in 2020.

My family all got covid in February while trapped in a hotel on vacation. My husband, being the pill popping lover that he is, took an advil immediately when he got a fever. My two kids and I muscled through. I felt better in 12 hours and my kids within 24 hours. My husband remained sick for 10 days and had respiratory congestion three weeks later. Did we feel better because we let our body work it's magic through fever? I don't know but I'm betting it played into it.

I read somewhere recently that there is in fact serology of COVID anti bodies in 2019. Will try and find the references and post back.

Anecdotally, I was part of a New Mexico and Arizona group in early 2021, where a lot of people mentioned they had something that seemed a lot like COVID symptoms in 2019.

(Anecdotally, again, they all concurred on the severity and similarity of the symptoms.)

Nostradamus is also famous for having cured a whole City from the plague with only hygiene and fresh air....and why do you think the Rudolph Steiner lot runs after the measles with their children in the arms.....? It boostes their immunity tenfold for the rest of their lives....! No wonder small pharma wants to shut down these tendencies...

I can think of two slight fevers I had during 2019, a few hours of minor discomfort and gone. Since I also hadn't had fevers for a very long time these were surprising. I think I also contracted the O variable a month ago the fever was similar but this time my body went into overdrive my using an entire box of tissues.

Dr. Been recently had an episode about a study in Italy that checked blood (from a lung study, I believe) for COV2 antibodies, and found them in blood from September 3, 2019.

My mother passed away February 2019. No one had any explanation as to what happened. She was dizzy, diarrhea and feeling weak (low O2?) my dad took her to a Ready Care, but it was closed, so they ended up at the ER. They put her in a room to monitor her, and by midnight had her in the ICU, by the time I got there the next morning, she was intubated, and the story of her decline is exactly that of those with Covid. O2 just kept dropping, scarring in her lungs, sores/rashes on her arms and stomach... No one had any idea what the problem was, tons of tests, infectious disease doctors, nothing. Covid came along and I was like "BINGO". And through this whole pandemic, my unvaccinated father hasn't gotten sick...(antibodies from previous exposure?)

Well, there has always been influenza, but now we are wanting to label it all Covid, because Covid is such the fashion.

I had a bad 'flu in India February 2020, I could call it Covid.
