I live in one of the areas supposedly hard hit by the corona virus. I know no one who has Covid19 or even someone who has been tested for it. How many people here are in the same situation?

A dozen at this point.

3 of 4 people in 2 different families, plus a bunch of 1-offs.

At least a dozen. One was on the vent for a long while, barely made it. Lots of comorbidities.

Most had "a really bad flu" and a couple had a 'weak flu'.

its a crap shoot.

I am close to ground zero, so to speak. I am sure there are TONS of people who had it but I havent heard ffrom recently, and even more who had it and didnt know they did .

Neighbors brother dies from it. They buried him last week.
Closest coworkers grandfather had it, but he beat it.
Two family members on my wife's side tested positive.

I might. Someone at work had a presumptive positive test. Which means that they were running a temperature.

An acquaintance is a nurse and a healthy young 40 year old. In pretty bad shape and in icu

A whole family in our church has it!!

No one.

My cousin has been in the hospital since Sunday. Blood clots in his lungs. Received a plasma treatment Tuesday. 55 y/o in good shape. Doesn’t smoke. Picked it up at work. He was one of a 12 or so that had a positive test.

My next door neighbor and his wife said they had it and are now well. I don't know who told them they had Covid, but I assume they were tested. They are in their 60s, about ten years older than my wife and I. The mother-in-law, in her 90s, lives with them, and she never got sick.

My hunting buddy from CO Springs, been sick a month with it. Oxygen at home, it was bad enough for him. He's waitng to get the second negative test before he goes back to work.

Clients, she is a rural hospital nurse and her husband. She thinks her kids had it in January, then her husband, she was the last to get sick with it. She insisted on being tested and it came back positive. Husband tested positive, the teenage kids were clear over it and they didn't test them. They're all better now.

Ahmaud Arbery

buddy of mines sister in law.

Nurse practioner. Got tested positive. Only reason she knew she had it.

Spent her quarantine feeding cows, walking dogs and fishing.

An acquaintance that lives in Denver. He’s mid 50s and recovering just fine.

A couple from my town had it & recovered and a good friend of mine and his wife in Connecticut also had it & recovered. They all said it was like a real bad case of the flu.

Credit union the wife and I use has been closed for several weeks. Finally re-opened and I stopped by. I was talking to the manager, Telling her I thought it was a mistake shutting down. Turned out one of the girls there come down with it and passed it on to the manager and her and the managers husband came down with it. Maybe it wasn't so crazy. I can tell you for a fact though that branch doesn't have nearly the traffic they had before this whole thing started.

Four people --- Mother and daughter (age 65 and 43) got it late Jan / early Feb on a vacation in Morocco with a group of Italians from northern Italy -- very sick but not hospitalized, Air Canada allowed them to fly home even though they said they were ill as they had not been travelling in China. Mother said it was the worst she has ever felt with her whole body being sore and pneumonia symptoms.

Fellow in our community. He drives an airport shuttle and thinks that is where he got it - he was hospitalized (non-ICU) and has been back home for about a month, John says he is still out of breath, body aches and head aches - he is in his mid 60's,

Caregiver to a family across the street. She is also a office clerk at a medical clinic where a group of doctors were infected at a curling bonspiel. He brought it into the office and she got it there. She is no longer a caregiver for the family as their son is immune system compromised.

Sister, brother-in-law and my stepdad had covid19! Tested and confirmed. Sister and brother-in-law are well, retested and cleared! My stepdad died after catching it, was to much for his 90 years old system to fight! They are in eastern Washington. Know two nurses in town that had covid, and recovered over a month ago!

Sitting here on the edge of NY's epicenter I know many people who have confirmed CV. Some have recovered from it, a few still battling it and one that didn't make it. IIRC we have confirmed 330,000 positive cases to date. Although things are moving in the right direction each day that we remain on "Pause"; we still see over 2,000 new confirmed cases every day.

Don’t know anyone who knows anyone.

My small community is/was one of the hotspots. I’ve lost six friends. Every one of them are black.

A good friend's 30-something year old daughter and son in law got it. She's a nurse. Both had mild symptoms and have recovered. They live in Tuscaloosa, AL. I don't know of anyone in my area that has it even though there are over 1215 cases and 32 deaths in my county of 958,000.

Where in eastern Washington? GD

Don't know anyone who has died or tested positive. We'll be testing colds for years to come because of the China flu.

Yep, two, husband and wife from church..............

Treated and recovered just fine, NO hospital stay...............

Yes.

My friend's father, who's 90, got it and lives in an assisted living center. He seems to have beat it without being hospitalized.

Our youth pastor at church and his family tested positive but got through without much drama.

One of my employee's wife tested positive last week. She's immunocompromised and relies on oxygen to get through the day. We're pretty worried about her but so far she seems to be getting through it.

Sorry to hear about your friends, Godogs57.

I am/was in one of the top ten hotspots in the country when this all started. I don’t know anyone who has had it. I don’t know anyone who knows someone that had it. Very strange.

Sorry about your friends Gundog57.

He already got vaccinated, never get it again.

Interesting thread. I don't know personally anyone that has/had it.

I know of no one. Be Well, Rustyzipper.

My youngest son has just recovered from the virus. He was sick for three weeks, with a bad cough, very severe headaches, blackened toes, and a loss of sense of taste and smell. To make matters worse, he has been recovering from a pulmonary embolism he suffered around Christmas. So thankful he has recovered. He works from home now.

Nope. I know some -uckers that should though.

Nine, that I know personally, one death.

I know several people who have had it, several that have passed away as well. All those who did not make it were 75+ and not in good overall health.

We had a church leadership meeting this week to discuss the movement forward (of course we were all seated far apart and such). I asked if anyone knew anybody under 65 who had died from this virus. Nobody knew of anyone, and these guys are from all over my general area.

My cousin told me his wife's best friend's pastor talked to someone at the grocery store who said they thought their uncle's son might have known someone who had it.

One co-worker had it and my archery elk hunting partner had it. Both recovered. One was hospitalized and tested positive. The other isolated himself at his home and recovered. He never tested but according to his doctor it was most likely that he had covid.
Both lost a lot of weight. Both said they wouldn't wish it on their enemy.

Wife's coworkers in late March. Four or five hospital medical billing staff tested positive. Traced it to one person who got it while on vacation she thinks. All recovered mild symptoms all under 60 mosty 30-50.

One of wife's nurse friends and his wife got it. Nurse husband died in hospital wife recovered at home. Both in mid50's. No official word on where they picked up infection but just do happens they were in NY on Vacation two weeks before they both started showing symptoms.

So Far no hospital staff or medical personnel have been infected through work that they know of. Hospital jumped on it quick though in early February dusting off their Ebola and H1N1 Protocols long before any official Health Directives.

Fuggin Administrators though, like every where else, were caught flat footed on PPE equipment.

The Virus is real and it ain't no flu.

Our reaction to it as a society though has been moronic at best.

Damn straight! The flu actually kills healthy people of all ages.

Don't know anyone who had it or anyone who even got a test. Now I'm waiting for things to start returning to some sort of normality. If that ever happens.

I don’t know anyone personally in the last three years that has had the flu. I personally don’t know anyone that has died from the flu.This year I know nine people that had the Coronavirus one died and he was a 54-year-old healthy male.

I know one lady that supposedly died from the CoronaScam, she was 40 years old and tested positive for it, but autopsy revealed it was an opiod overdose, but it went down as a CoronaScam death.

My Wife's first cousin in Tulsa had it, we live in Colorado that's as close as it has gotten to us. He works for FedEx pulling triples. He tested positive after a guy from Memphis that he made a transfer with tested positive. He said he had a slight cough when it first came on, but he didn't ever feel worse than a mild cold. He can't go back to work yet because they won't test him again to see if he's negative. So he's drinking a lot of beer while he collects his pay check from FedEx.

Coworkers dad died from it a week ago here in Oklahoma. I also had two good friends in there late 30's who had it.

My buddy had it. We worked together for three days. Same vehicle for 8 hours minimum. Used the same computer without gloves or hand sanitizer or washing our hands, and we sure as fugk never wore masks.

We think my daughter may have caught it but we still aren't sure and we're not about to take her through one of those ghetto ass drive-thru's.

I never got it of course.

Did he get it before or after he charged the shotgun (which of course all Fire Men would have apparently done). If before, it possibly affected his judgement.

Yep...

one guy at work died from it... He was an older manager in his late 50’s.

Another you guy in his 30’s ended up in intensive care - I haven’t heard from him for over a month so I’m not sure how that resolved itself.

Another gal we know that works as the hospital got it, and she looked like death warmed over (like bad flu) for 2.5 weeks..

My new girl friend came down with it probably in March. She is having a very bad time of it and while recovering is still considered contagious. It might be at least another two weeks before we can get together again. Frankly gentlemen, that sucks!

I know five people with positive PCR tests:
---------------------------------------------------------
One passing acquaintance who died at home after diagnosis.
Another acquaintance who was sick for 8 weeks and she recovered
One elderly man who was tested before another procedure and was positive, no symptoms but he's SOL because he needs a nursing home but is positive so he's stuck in the hospital
The elderly wife of above, no symptoms
One young woman, out of it for a week with generic blah but recovered

I strongly believe there are now strains running around that are basically benign. The old guy I know who got it is seriously ill with other things, and didn't have any symptoms at all.
