re: I still don’t know a person in real life who has had covid

Do you only know like ten people? I’ve had two family members, six or so friends, and about a dozen casual acquaintances catch it. 2 deaths. How people can deny this shite is just completely bonkers.

Why are you always lying

Same.

ETA: I spend the vast majority of my time in Lafayette and Vermilion parishes, which have a combined total cases of ~1k, and a combined total population of >300k.

I’m also not denying that it’s a thing, but just stating that I don’t know anyone who has been diagnosed with it.

My cousin had it and has recovered.
My Aunt had it and she died from it this past Sunday.

but carry on

But muh second wave is coming

Know 2 mid- fifties who got it and recovered. Both reported it as being like a really bad cold. Neither had to go to the hospital.

Find it interesting that posters who originally expressed skepticism about the wisdom of shutting down the country were told, "You don't understand the exponential increase in infection rates that is coming."

Now that posters report experience with solid numbers that don't bear out dire death predictions, the line becomes "You don't have any friends."

A guy one of my best friends worked with died of it
He was 56

A guy my brother worked closely with and played cards with every day at lunch also - he was 46 with 5 kids.

My SIL's aunt - died in a nursing home in New Jersey - 78.

A co-worker of mine (46 employee company) - around age 60 - got it while working remotely - recovered after 2 weeks.

The cafeteria manager at the kids school died of it. Mid 60’s, black, overweight, probably some other underlying conditions like high blood pressure.

Two of my employees had a parent die of Covid. Only ones I personally know of that are directly contributed. Not aware of anyone else.

Did they have other health issues? No idea.

This guy worked for a multinational investment Bank
Not sure about his health issues before but he told me the guy was traveling around for work and whatnot
Must have picked it up in an airport or something

My best friend's brother is a nurse. Late 30s. Had it. Almost died.

My gfs coworker had it. Shes bigger and a smoker. Was basically fine. Her husband got it from her. He died. Skinny early 40s guy. No issues.

My antibody test came back positive last week. Had it. Didn't really know it. Had a different coronavirus in november that nearly killed me

I'm a fat, heavy drinking, cigar smoking, gorilla. But I do work out a fair amount.
