Because of where I am from and where all my family still is located (New Jersey) I know multiple people who have had it. About 7 members of my family, a couple of my old high school friends, etc. after visiting there in March, myself, my fiancée, and our 1 year old came back positive for antibodies so I’m assuming we were asymptomatic at some point.

Only a few with positive tests. Many people I know and family members had antibody positive tests, but many inconsistent antibody test results within the same household, including mine.

Zero personally other than the couple I have seen posted on here. I have not heard of anyone that I know of die from it. I am not going to say it does not exist but with a global pandemic that shut down the entire planet I would think that someone I knew would have died from it if it were that deadly.

It’s not that deadly. CDC said today they think for every known/tested case there are at least ten that have gone undetected.

In the end COVID is going to be marginally more lethal than a hard flu.

I wouldn't be shocked if it is more than that.

I say that I know 3 families. But when 1 person in a family gets it, they don't test the other family members. They are presumed to be exposed and quarantined and treated as such.

You might have 9 asymptomatic for every symptomatic. But you may also have 1-4 family members never tested after 1 family member gets it.

About 20. 3 deaths, though my 90 year old aunt recovered which was a pleasant surprise.

Zero, but I live in the middle of the Colville Indian Reservation and its been blocked to non residents.

So far we have had one case on the entire reservation and he brought it in from an off-reservation job he worked.

I know one family that all had it. Some were asymptomatic and some ran a fever.

My 94 year old grandfather recovered from it then died of pneumonia. Guess what he officially died of? I'll give you a hint, it wasn't listed as pneumonia.

I think 122,000+ and counting would tend to disagree.

The 35 million who have recovered would agree with me.

An older couple (late 70s) across the street from me and their 50 year old daughter caught it on a Mediterranean Cruise in March. They were sick at home for 2+ weeks but recovered.

I’ve known 7 people 
My ex wife and her husband were the strangest ones. 
40 years old. He is a fire captain in great shape. Spent 3 days in hospital. 
She’s 35 years old and 7 months pregnant and only had a head cold basically 

Of the 7 I know. Only one died. 74 years old but was in great shape for his age. Had just returned from snow skiing 


Me and my wife found we had it by accident. We live in Germany and she was walking to the train station heading for work and she fell down and hit her head which required stitches. The doctor wanted to keep her over night to make sure it wasn't serious and policy made them test any new patients and she went home the next day and we got a call she was positive. We felt fine both asymptomatic. The other guy we know is a contractor and he had it early when it broke out and he is in his late 50s early 60s. He had mild symptoms, but he is healthy for his age and he recovered no problem, he is actually doing a renovation job in one of our properties right now. I think this is way overblown and Sweden got it right in the first place.
