I was traveling for work the second week of Jan 2020. Five days after returning home, I came down with a raging fever of 103, which went on for for days. Lost taste and smell too. I called my doctor and he had me come in to test me for the flu - which came back negative. So I sat back and waited for the rest of the 'flu' symptoms to hit me but after a few days of sleeping off the fevers, I was fine. Seven days after my illness started, my mother, daughter and grandson all caught my 'flu'. We all recovered with no problems. Old and young alike.

Then they started talking about COVID.
