There's some suspicion that there are two strains of COVID and one is nastier than the other.

And, see my other post, but some researchers suspect that COVID was circulating in Washington (likely elsewhere as well) since about mid-january, so very possible.

Interesting. I suppose it's possible. Whatever went around was incredibly contagious compared to the usual flu. Almost the entire office, including myself, came down with it over the course of 1-2 weeks.

I'd like to think you're right. It'd be nice to know that I and the people I'm in regular contact with already have some immunity.
