I got 14 downvotes, and counting, for not knowing anybody that knows someone who got covid.


Because that's basically an impossibility outside of living in and never leaving the sticks

You mean besides all the bodies piled up on my street and blocking my driveway that NOBODY will help me move?

I can’t wait until COVID is cured because then no person will ever die of anything else again...

Older neighbor had home health coming two to three times a week, he got it (from the nurse) and died quick.

One of my dad's friends died from it a few days ago, he was older and had been in ICU for a month.

35 yr old friend of mine nearly died, they had a lawyer draw up a last will for him but he survived.

None.
Worst sickness was essentially a "bad cold".
A few had slight fever.
A few were tired or had congestion.
Nobody close to hospitalized.

I know a 90 year old whose children became doctors. The adult children (drs) injected themselves with antibodies for protection. (Apparently this is kept on the DL and the thing to do if you’re a dr)

The 90 yr old mother tested positive, one of her children gave her a dose of antibodies, and she was 100% in 2 days.

Makes you really frickin wonder.

I hope your friend was conscious and had his mental faculties when this was done or that lawyer is less than ethical

Personally know....zero. I've probably at this point personally known 40-50 people who got it - none of those, not one, was even hospitalized.

My father in law died in May from Covid. He was 63 with no pre-existing conditions.

I know of 5 others who have died from Covid/with Covid and they were all over 60 years old with different conditions.

Only 6.8% of the country has tested positive

I dont think its that crazy there are people who dont know anyone personally that tested positive

He also said he knows no one that knows anyone. Come on now.

I stand by that basically being impossible unless you are a hermit.

I’ll be attending my 2nd Covid death funeral tomorrow. There are 3 others I have known, but not “funeral” close.
