I know many tens of thousands have died in the U.S.  But I don't know anyone who has died, or even anyone who is sick enough to be hospitalized.  So there's that.  

I don’t even know anyone that can confirm they’ve gotten it, only that in the last 2-3 months I know two people who have said they “had something that wasn’t the flu and not like a cold.”

I know a number of people who are confirmed positive. I know a few that were or are hospitalized.  One in ICU.  I don't know anyone who has died.

I don't know anyone personally that has had it, let alone died.  My neighbor works at a group home facility that was the starting point of a cluster of cases in our town.  To date there have been 20 cases (more than half of which are linked to the group home facility), and 16 of those have recovered completely.  No one has died.  So while I would not be able to say I know any, my neighbor could say she knows several.  

I know somebody that knows somebody. The somebody that had it was a teachers aid And then there’s me. I swear I had this in November and I know that many are saying the same . Tested neg for flu, low grade temp, a cough that would rattle the walls, and the urge to sleep for weeks.  Hope there will be an antibodies test. 

@krc1995  We were in Colorado Springs over New Years.  In mid January my wife was the sickest she'd ever been: aches, cough, fever,  she would just lay on the couch and try to sleep in between coughs.  She tested negative for the flu.

She's a nurse, so we self quarantine at our house a lot as well as sanitize anything the sick people touch.  She's sure she had it, and the rest of us somehow either dodged it or we're the lucky ones that don't get symptoms...

Nope, but I know but I know a few people that think they had it a few months ago.

@funhusker in hindsight,  the weird thing my 13 year old son came up with poison ivy in December, on his foot. Or so we thought. Treated through a virtual doctor with steroids(he’s highly allergic). Now what they saying about kids and the blisters on their feet. 

Had something similar after traveling internationally in late January (in Europe). Doctor in Lincoln told me "coronavirus is a China thing, don't worry".  Lolz

Coworker's father-in-law died from COVID last week, but didn't know them personally. 

I know someone who came pretty close to dying but survived and I have two other family members who have died in the last two months (not from Covid) and have not been able to have any memorial services due to the virus. One of my customer’s has had 5 deaths but I didn’t know any of them personally.

My friend's mom has it now. She's in New Hampshire.

Two deaths in my family line, my Mom's sister [83 year old] and a nephew in my wife's family [62 year old].

My cousin was hospitalized in Massachusetts.  He made it.

Fiancée's former coworker just died of it. She had cancer, but she was pretty young. One of her friends that's a nurse also tested positive for the antibodies. She had minor symptoms. Another had symptoms and was told to quarantine but is fine now. Fiancée going to get the antibody test this week. We both felt like we had shortness of breath and an ache in our chest few weeks ago but all good now.

Thanks guys.  There's so much of this in the news, but no one I know seems to be affected.  I guess I should count my blessings.  

Actually I know one, a nurse.  She felt like crap.  She is all good now though!  Lost her sense of taste.

Now I'm worried about you @teachercd....... you've never had any sense of taste 

Well played...well played indeed!
