re: How many people do you personally know that have died from COVID?

One.

I know 1 person. His nickname in town is fat Dave. No lie, that's how he introduced himself to me at the pizza hut so thats what I called him.

He got covid about a month ago and was put into the hospital. Was on a ventilator and passed away last Thursday.

Obviously Fat Dave had some health issues but he actually was pretty cool. I didnt hang out with him or party but I did pick up pizza from him once a month for our office lunch meetings. White dude btw

I don’t even know anyone that has had it... and I live in NYC lol.

Zero deaths.

I know two people who have had it. I know one of them closely, and they had a tough week of being sick - like having the flu for a week, and then another week of just zero energy and after effects like bad cough and congestion. I could see how covid would kill someone who was already very ill or in a weakened state. It is no joke. But I dont think we should take away everyone's liberties to live life in order to protect the weakest of society. Let them quarantine themselves. Personal risk and decisions and subsequent outcome, the American way. The only fair way.

One. My sister’s mother-in-law in the DC area.

She was 82, obese and on dialysis.

1. 65 year old worked with, was a good dude in OK health for his age.

Zero. I have a buddy up the street that has it. But only has loss of taste or smell. Other than that he said he feels fine. He is probably 35 ish. Funny thing is that his wife nor kids got it. So he is quarantined in his basement.
