They keep talking about the second wave, this could quite possibly be the second wave already. I too was I’ll at Christmas, in fact the whole family were. The only people who escaped it were my parents who were both at mine for Christmas Day dinner. It came in waves for me, I was ill leading up to Christmas then felt ok(ish) on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, then Christmas Day evening it hit me and I was layed up on the couch for the next 2 weeks with all the Covid symptoms 

New Year was bad for me, right through Jan really. Aching bones, every morning woke up feeling like someone had put a dumpy bad of 3/4s to dust on me during the night. No energy etc etc. Carried on training but fairly half assed. 
 

On the bright side, it’s hay fever season now. There’ll be days I’d be better off sitting in a small room filled with CS gas and no AGR rather than go outside. ???

Covid may have been around much longer than they're letting on. In October, the cell phone data shows no activity for several days on the roads around Wuhan. Something happened that caused the Chinese to isolate Wuhan. In October. A city the size of London. Domestic flights into and out of Wuhan were grounded shortly after, but not international flights. It was October - November my wifey got a really nasty flu. I was actually thinking about calling for an ambulance. I got it but not as bad, shortness of breath, took a month to kick it.  Couple of local auld boys went to hospital with galloping pneumonia. More oldies passed away than usual leading up to Christmas.

     

If it had been widespread for that much time it would show up in the excess deaths data. It only starts to spike from late March

I was at a funeral in Melton Mobray at the beginnning of March. At the start of February my mate got a chest infection which rapidly decended in to pneumonia, sepsis, total organ failure and death in a week.  That fits the bill.

The models are not reliable. Remember, many nations are attributing ALL deaths where Covid virus is found to death from Covid. The vast majority of deaths are people who are at deaths door anyway. Deaths from Covid, Deaths with Covid and Deaths attributed to Covid were not conflated until late Jan. Could have been people dying for weeks/months with/from Covid that were put down as pneumonia or heart failure. The roads were closed. Domestic but not international flights were grounded. Facts.

My condolences. Do you remember what they attributed the cause of death to?

I am 67 and don't ever remember having proper flu . Had some " man colds " and stuff but not proper flu . Do you think I may have had flu or even C19 and not realized ?  ( not taking the piss , genuine question ) 

I'm a bit older but similarly I don't think I've ever had the flu and only missed work on a few occasions when I have had stomach upsets, worst I was off for a week after eating a dodgy lobster.

Pneumonia. I think.
They weren't testing back then.
