Just out of curiosity, how do you know that u got it then? Maybe you had it another time and were asymptomatic? I know numerous people that were there and had no problems. Doesn't really make sense that you and 2 ddfers got it there and nobody else...
I didn't say I got it at KWFE. I flew CLE-NYC with a friend on 2/17, we went to the Ohel, CH, KWFE, and the Plaza hotel.
It was 22 Shvat at the Ohel and it was packed with people from around the world.
I spent several hours later that day shmoozing with someone from Milan at KWFE, where it had already silently spread.
My friend and I both got sick the next week. I was achy and had a 102 fever and aches for 3 days, which was longer than I could recall being sick before. Nobody else around us got sick.
@PlatinumGuy was with us at KWFE and also got sick the next week.
I had another short flare-up in mid-March, but tested negative on a COVID PCR the next day.
Months later we learned we both had antibodies, but nobody else around us had antibodies or got sick and there was very few COVID cases in CLE in general and specifically in CLE's Jewish community.
I'd say the odds that we got it in NYC exceed 95%.
Who in the world said nobody else got it at KWFE? The conjecture you come up with is astounding.
Everyone at that point assumed it was the flu, but it was obviously being transmitted asymptomatically and symptomatically. It takes weeks if not months for it to keep doubling until the numbers get massive and people realize there's a major problem.
