When you get travel shots like yellow fever they give you a little booklet you can show to customs.

But yes, you definitely get a card with a COVID vaccine. Other vaccines too - I still have mine from when I was a kid somewhere. |

My mother may have gotten a card for my childhood vaccinations, but that would be long gone now. I've gotten boosters in recent years and I think it only went into my electronic medical records. I can easily look them up through my health provider. |

More evidence suggests COVID-19 was in US by Christmas 2019
A new analysis of blood samples from 24,000 Americans taken early last year is the latest and largest study to suggest that the new coronavirus popped up in the U.S. in December 2019 — weeks before cases were first recognized by health officials. The analysis is not definitive, and some experts remain skeptical, but federal health officials are increasingly accepting a timeline in which small numbers of COVID-19 infections may have occurred in the U.S. before the world ever became aware of a dangerous new virus erupting in China. |

I remain curious about a flu that swept through my office and one of my clients in late December. |

There was something weird that swept through late 2019. Lasted like a month, last two weeks were dry cough. But I don't think it was covid. No one was reporting loss of taste and smell and hospitals weren't filling up. |

I had a cough and respiratory infection in January 2020 that one morning got so bad I went to urgent care as I couldn't get enough oxygen in. They did a breathing treatment, a flu test (negative), chest x-ray (no pneumonia). Ultimately discharged with a z-pac and steroids. I got better in next couple of weeks but was feeling it for a couple of months after when exercising. Weirdest was during COVID year I noticed I like hotter and hotter spicy foods, to the point of craving. I don't remember ever having smell or taste lost, but that development made me wonder if it was possibly lasting effects of an undiagnosed COVID infection.

I slept for 2 days and my family doesn't usually let me sleep more than 3 hours. My staff was decimated and one of my managers was in the hospital on oxygen. All just went away. Like a bad movie. |

Around the same time, I was hit with a flu unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. The fatigue level was just off the charts. I'm usually not one to just hit the couch when I'm sick. But that one was very different. I still question whether I caught it then.

The other weird thing to me is that once I got the covid vaccine, I immediately stopped getting some headaches that have been plaguing me. I mentioned it earlier in the thread. I thought the headaches were related to an earlier medical thing, but it was a really weird coincidence that they stopped immediately once I got the vaccine. And I've been reading that the vaccine helps with lingering covid symptoms. Now I'm seriously wondering.

I got hit with the flu end of December 2019 as well. First time in forever and I did lose taste. Only reason I even remotely remember is because I'm a fiend for kettle chips. My wife brought some new kind home that she knew I'd love and I couldn't taste them and was like WTF did you bring this trash home for?? Been destroying them ever since...in moderation of course.

I had a horrible cough where I couldn't get oxygen and felt like I was going to suffocate for two weeks in late Feb 2020. Then I went to Solvang and partied which was basically the last thing everybody did before getting locked down. Several people I was with came down with what I'm sure was Covid because they couldn't smell or taste anything for weeks.
I'm pretty sure it was here. |
