Meek Mill's twitter was filled with fans who has similar experiences with having symptoms of coronavirus, but not being diagnosed with coronavirus.

"They told me it was bronchitis but my symptoms pointed to the flu. Had a fever 103 for a few days, coughing, fatigue aches and pains They wasn’t telling us then it was rona" said the fan on Twitter.
Styles P is another rapper who claimed that he had "the Rona" in January before the pandemic broke out in America.
The 45-year-old rapper told his followers on Twitter that he "almost died" from an illness he suspects was coronavirus.
Styles took to Twitter and wrote "I almost died in January . And I never get the flu and if I do it’s a day or two."
"In January I was down for a week and lost about 8 pounds !! I had the rona !! It had to be the Rona !!!!" Styles said.
In Meek Mill's case, his symptoms were not as severe, however it does not mean that he did not have the coronavirus.
