[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two of my adult children (Cali, Fla) and me (dmv) had the same symptoms as covid-19 in january and february.  None of us got tested and we all are okay now.  This could of been around for awhile and our robust immune system took care of the virus.[/quote]
That's what you want to believe. [b]But no, this is not as mild as people think. Most likely you had a cold or flu. [/quote]

Correct. Remember that when they say “mild” they are including Pneumonia that does not require a respirator. In layman’s terms, there is nothing “mild” about pneumonia[/b].[/quote]

I'm the OP and still have a cough and can hear wheezing when I breath.  Ever heard of walking pneumonia?[/quote]

Dr. Bruce Aylward, of the W.H.O., In the interview with NY Times stated

Q: What were mild, severe and critical?

A: [b]No. “Mild” was a positive test, fever, cough - maybe even pneumonia.[/b]

During infection, the virus that causes COVID-19 attacks cells within the respiratory tract, particularly the lungs. As these cells die, they fill the airway with fluids and debris while the virus continues to replicate — making it hard to breathe.

The presence of dying cells and a replicating virus spark the immune system to react to the infectious intruder. Immune cells then flood the lungs to repair damaged tissues and wipe out the virus. While the immune response to the virus is generally highly controlled, it can sometimes go berserk and cause its own damage to healthy cells as well as dying ones. A flood of signals from the immune system, called a cytokine storm, can damage the lungs and cause respiratory failure, and can also harm other organs, leading to multiorgan failure.

...besides confirmed damage to lungs and immune system, kidney, liver, gallbladder, brain matter, cardiovascular system, spleen, etc ... wait for it.... there is more!!! 
Just posted on another thread: recently discovered damage to central nervous system: in China they found virus in the cerebrospinal fluid of a male patient- he recovered, not sure about sequela 
And we still do not know all about the possible long term damage.[/quote]

This happened with Spanish flu.  The book/movie Awakenings was about people with neurological defects belatedly caused by that.  And I have a family member who died of it about 15 years after the flu.  (Not sure how long the symptoms took to show up but he was totally disabled for years prior to death).  [/quote]

Q: anyone have any info about the potential for central nervous system damage mentioned above?  That freaks me out.[/quote]
