This has been asked before.

What are your reasons for inquiring?

Morbid curiosity?

Do you know anyone?

And the answer to you question is yes I do no someone who was tested positive. Didn't die, Was very sick though.

It has taken until 3 weeks ago to actually know someone that tested positive. The safety man on the project I'm on tested + and was asymptomatic. Last week the son of one of my co-workers tested +. Most of the plant employees aren't masked up,but outside contractors are required to wear a mask. It is considered a walkable offense just like failure to LOTO if we don't comply.


Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

Sorry for asking again.

I’m inquiring because a lot of people says it’s horseshit and doesn’t exist.

I know several people who have tested positive and I know some that have died while in the hospital with covid.

Valsdad, thanks for your reply.

You are welcome.

It's not "horseshit" and it does exist.

I think a lot of folks are tired of all the excitement over it though.

We just had our first two cases show up in our county, so other than the person I know in SoCal, I haven't met anyone else that's came up positive. My relatives down south do though. In SoCal and AZ. Both "hotbeds" right now.

My condolences to you on those you know that have died. That sucks.

I had it and while I did not die, I felt like I was going to for a few days. It was like a very bad flu. 71 and in OK health.

I know 25+ that have been positive. Most asymptomatic.

Worst had a fever and no taste/smell for 4 days.

I know of one small office that 7/10 of it inhabitants got it. All are fine.

I know of three others that were called covid related deaths that weren't. One was a metastatic breast cancer. One was a hemorrhagic stroke in someone who had vascular disease for a long time. Another was a long standing autoimmune condition that killed this person years before they took their last breath.

Its a real virus. It didn't demand destroying America.

Suicides, abuse, alcoholism, drug abuse, bankruptcy all up. Coincidence?

I actually don't know anyone personally who has, or had, Wuhan fever. Montana of course has a low infection rate for the most part, maybe one in 300 residents have caught it, but nope, not even anyone in my out-of-state professional circles has had it.

Honestly, I'd like to pick some brains about what it's really like, as we're starved (partly by the idiot media) of useful information.

The Mayor's wife died last week they said from the plague.

She was a nice gal but she did have some other problems when it hit her.

The way she went was get to the hospital one day,intensive care,then room got her up and she was doing good.
This over the span of 3 or 4 days.

Then 2 days after doing good back it intensive care ,she got worse for a few days then she passed away.

This happened over a 2 1/2 week time frame.

Don't know what her underlying problem was,she was in her late 50's.

we have had a total of 4 in the entire county. Two people in there 60s and 70s (both recovered) and 2 younger people in their 20s. Recovering at home. I don't know any of the them. Nor have I met anyone who has had it.

I know whole families who tested positive with varying levels of difficulty with it.

They WERE deniers, now they are believers.

I don’t believe there are believers and deniers, there are panickers and more practical people. No one doubts there is a virus, it’s to what degree of panic said virus puts you in. It’s a virus...check! It doesn’t kill everyone....check! Should you be living in fear and panic.....nope! The only way this thing goes away is through herd immunity or it running its course through our entire society. We went from flattening the curve to imagining it would just disappear. WTH do people expect?
