2. I'm not sure if they had pre-existing conditions or not.

0. Not a single person.

I don’t even know anyone personally who’s been hospitalized.

None.

I know a 90 year old in a nursing home that had it with zero symptoms. And my dad who is 71 in poor health in a wheelchair from a stroke 8 years ago, had it and only had a runny nose.

I know one person. He was older and already had serious underlying conditions. He probably wasn't going to make it anyway.

One. A guy I grew up with died last weekend. Had no idea he had heart and respiratory issues. COVID got him and took him in just a few days.

I know a lot of people who have tested positive and most of them never got so much as the sniffles.

Former classmate's mother who died last summer, at 88.

One of my best friends was told a couple days ago that he is likely dying. Still with us this morning, in his 50s.

Young woman in her 30s with four adorable children.

I know two families who have had every member of their extended family get Covid, some hospitalized but survived. My elderly neighbors currently are positive. The shite is extremely contagious folks. Go ahead and not wear masks and demand no restrictions of bars and businesses so you can flaunt the authority of the gubmint. You are confident it can't happen to you, or to any of your family members, neighbors, friends, classmates, co-workers and their extended families and acquaintances. Sorry, I usually visit here for some amusement and not to rant, but that young woman's children just hit me in my heart.
