Whether you knew it for certain or even just merely suspect it.

I personally got sick exactly three weeks ago from today. All the negative symptoms hit me hard and suddenly, and at the time I assumed it was the flu. I waited a few days and went to the doctor three days later. Tested negative for strep. At the time, the doctor diagnosed me with a "really bad cold" but gave me a script for antibiotics to use if I wasn't already feeling better. I trusted the doctor's judgement. Three days after that, I start taking the antibiotics and continued until I finished it up ten days later. The antibiotics I don't think really helped, because normally whenever I've had something like Strep or UTI it helps things out quick within 1-3 days.
I keep reading up on coronavirus symptoms and I honestly suspect that I had it. Either that, or a really nasty flu that turned into pnemonia. But I've never dealt with lung type of stuff before and normally a flu has resolved itself within a week all by itself. Not the 2.5 weeks it took me this time around. It SUCKED and of course I start getting better just in time for everything including clubs to shut down. Sad.
It would be nice to be able to get a blood test done to see whether or not I've already developed antibodies. But of course somebody like me (already recovered) certainly wouldn't be a priority.

Somebody like me, who doesn't even 100% for sure know it was coronavirus, will not end up in any type of statistic floating around the news. Maybe with testing starting to be more prominent, things will start to change. But in the meantime, I made this thread to try to get better anecdotal stories of people's personal experiences currently.
