Also the numerous accounts of people testing negative for flu while experiencing all the symptoms


So I know of 3 people who had all of what we now know to be the standard COVID symptoms back in January. All 3 now swear up and down they had it. All 3 went and got one of the antibody tests. None tested positive for antibodies. Of course, the antibody test may be bogus.

Forgot to mention, they all tested negative for flu and strep.

I have chronic sinusitis stemming from some exposure in the military. In Feb what I thought was an infection was far worse then anything I had before and felt like I had the flu at the same time. Usually if I get a flareup I recover in a few days. This time it took around 10 days and even got tested for the flu & strep and came back negative. In April I spoke with my doctor about it and I asked about the antibody test. His comment was that they are not very reliable and present a lot of false negative results. The doc also said they are also finding after about a month of possibly having the virus they are even more unreliable. So I was told it would not be helpful.

We were seeing a lot of "flu like symptoms" and pneumonia ambulance calls starting in late December. My usual paramedic partner's girlfriend works at a local urgent care. She was saying they were eat up with "flu" cases in Jan/Feb that were testing negative for the flu. They treated them like it was the flu but now they think it was probably Rona.
