In early December 2019 my son in the US West got something that perfectly matches covid: looked like a cold, it got bad and then he got better, then two days later is got much worse. So we took him to the hospital and they concluded he had pneumonia, and also that it was not the flu. We treated the pneumonia and he got better and we all moved forward. My other son and wife also got milder cases, while I was mostly fine (but not 100%). There's no way to say it was actually covid, but it certainly was not the Flu due to the exam, and it matches all the covid symptoms. We'll never know, unless somehow they find the stuff collected by the hospital and analyze it again.
