I think I had it in February but I've heard the "I think I have" is a really common thing among people.
firm believer this was around in jan/feb and the wife and i had it.
one of the worst colds she has had.

Any Veterinarian who gives you a shot of Ivermectin won't be practicing much longer. Any medication requires forms to fill out.
Real good possibility.
I do QA work at a food factory. Most of the time, I sit at a desk in front of a computer, but I do have to occasionally collect samples on the lines. Last Thursday, I spent an hour on a production line. I was sent home early today because three people on that line just tested positive for COVID-19.
We have been lucky here in Iowa, lucky enough to dismiss this as mostly being "New York" or whatever. That isn't the case. It is here in Iowa now, and will get worse. We are nowhere near peak here.
I feel fine right now, but I will take it easy for the next few days just in case.

This raises some comments around something that has made me crazy since this started. 99% of the discussion around actions has been around slowing spread. While that was the urgent first action to keep hospital resources from being overwhelmed it looks like that is on target to be accomplished in most places. While still important to keep that pace slow for that reason and MAYBE the chances of drugs that could help symptoms to be proven, it seems the likelihood most of us contract it at some point in the next several months is very high. The likelihood of a vaccine by then is next to zero, and safe, effective drugs to treat symptoms is not something to bank on in the next few months.
There has been very little talk by officials and medical experts to the masses about something that is far more impactful, which is boosting your immune system. Diet, exercise, lots of sleep and loading some key vitamins and minerals are all important and might save your life if you get this. There are also plenty of other things you can do.
Keep in mind you could be in great health normally and be having a bad week of diet and sleep when you contract. That lapse might be the difference in having it be dangerous to you.
Odds are you will be ok. I was exposed in early March as were several others and no one contracted the virus. The guy who had it survived after a very serious illness.Real good possibility.

I just kind of assume my wife and I have it/have had it by now.
It's everywhere in hospitals.
It burns like wildfire through retirement communities and prisons. So many of those sorts of patients coming into the ER and coughing it up everywhere when intubated.
Are you going to get tested?
Did you and your wife get it in a prison retirement hospital?
Good to see the CF community being compassionate in an epidemic.That's a shame.
