...says my cardiology consultant. He seemed to think it very likely and he's not the sort to speculate.
I went for my annual review yesterday. I told the consultant that my wife and I had had very unusual coughs between the end of January and the middle of March. Neither of us has ever had a cough like it. My wife's windpipe closed up several times for a second or two which was scary, and we both had prolonged violent coughing fits especially when lying down.
He says we had COVID. I said I had considered that, but thought it was unlikely as there was hardly any around in January. He said there was probably a lot more about than was known about, especially as there was essentially no testing. No testing = no cases, unless and until they are ill enough to end up in hospital.
Looking back in my calendar, I did spend two days in central London twice in January, and my wife got her cough about two weeks after me. So I suppose it's possible.
