I think we still need to be cautious though, and even the WHO and CDC agree that this info is preliminary (and still recommend masks/social distancing), but the puzzle pieces are beginning to paint a clearer picture now.

That said, we're not out of the woods. People are still dying and it might (probably will) swing back around unless a vaccine is developed. However, we certainly have more knowledge to combat it than even a month ago.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I had it and showed no fever. I'm 29, have some high blood pressure but other than that mostly healthy. I was coughing like it was going out of style for a while. It sucks cause I'm pretty sure my meds can cause a dry cough and I have some light allergies.

The virus seems so random that we don't know if we had it or not, no matter if you had symptoms or not. Thats part of the problem with this thing. Could have no symptoms or very minor symptoms that you can dismiss as allergies.

I have a couple younger, healthy friends that coughed like crazy and were diagnosed with pneumonia in late February. Took a good 3 weeks for both to feel better....I tried to get them to get the antibody test bc I felt they could have had it (and I was around them all the time in February).

Another friend of mine was one of the earlier positive cases in the area. His family went to NJ for a wedding and everyone at the table came down with the virus (and who knows how many at the wedding). The table was mostly family with ages of 50+. The oldest lady felt like she had a minor cold. 2 of her brothers died. The youngest (the old ladys son and one of the first cases) felt like he had the worst flu he's ever had and it lasted about 3 weeks. His wife never tested positive or felt a thing.
