(6 years ago)A 59-year-old NHS worker said a test of antibodies found it contracted the Coronavirus in December 2019, more than a month before Great Britain reported its first official case.

Sue Reader from Ogwell, Devon, believes she got the virus during a trip to the Centre for visa application for China on 16 December. She did not develop symptoms until December 30th, including acute gasp, fatigue, and loss of smell, which was later understood as common symptoms that are now associated with the deadly virus.
In June of this year, Reader made evidence of antibodies proving that she was infected with the virus. So far, it is believed that on January 29, Great Britain reported the first cases of COVID-19 after two Chinese citizens from the same family staying at a hotel in York were sick, and British authorities confirmed the first case of the disease to pass within the country on February 28th of this year. But the Seader case shows that the virus was active in Britain much earlier.
NHS employee explained that during the visit to the application centre, she noticed people inside the building coughing up.
I always notice this kind of behavior because I'm the kind of person who never gets sick. I do a very healthy way of life, but coughing was very obvious,” she said.
Reader believes that the visa centre contracted the virus after developing a face-to-face discussion with the staff, but she did not notice any health problems until December 30th.
I had a high fever, I couldn't breathe, and I had hallucinations”, said Reader, who urged her family not to enter her room.
She was worried that she would pass on to her elderly father who had heart problems.
Reader drove back to Ogwell on January 1st despite health problems and spent the following month in solitary confinement.
China began reporting the first cases of coronaryism at the time, but Great Britain was unaware of the approaching pandemic. When Reader conducted the antibodies test in June, it proved positive. That means her body had already built protection and she had the virus. Now, she suffers from health conditions known as “CO Long-term VID”
