Do you know anyone with coronavirus?

[Quixote1818]

Tried to kick this one poll but it didn't kick. Maybe because it's over a month old? https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=13057820

1. I know multiple people that have died from it

Not know of, but know.

[BunnyMcGee]

6. I know someone who has it

and works in the medical profession. She is a neighbor, across the pathway, who has been there just over a year. I see her rarely, but wife has spoken to her more. She let the neighbors know her situation about two weeks ago, so I hope she is recuperating.

7. Meant to reply to the OP

2. I am superstitious about answering this.

3. I know 2 who have died.

Both were under 40 and in good health prior. Officially they were never tested. They both died in early March.

The spouse of one was sick as well but survived. She is still getting RT and will likely need medical care for this a long time out.

4. Any post that sinks past page 30 in it's group or forum is archived and can't be kicked

Here is page 30 of General Discussion as sorted by Last Reply (the default):
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1002&page=30

The last reply on the last post on page 30 (as of the moment I looked at it) is April 21, 2020 2:05 am. So anything with a last reply older than that has been archived (as of the moment I looked at it).

Now as for where I got this information ... it was soooo long ago ... I'd really have to dig hard for the source.

5. Thanks for the info. It's nice to compare them anyway. nt

9. I went with "I know someone who has it"--but only sort of.

I suspect another teacher (out of a couple hundred) has it. Don't know her personally. Her daughter had been diagnosed with it a couple of days before, and the teacher (online) was busy coughing and had a headache. Teacher hadn't been tested.

If any of my 165 students on my roster has it, they're not talking.

That said, given how many people I'm acquainted with and the likely stats, I must know at least a couple. They don't need to be symptomatic or very sick (because that's also the overwhelming majority).

10. My only daughter, a doctor, has recovered from it and is back at work.

These GOP thieves and murderers care nothing for health care workers or anyone else. Just like the elites of Nazi Germany who claimed to disagree with Hitler while profiting immensely from the Nazi actions, the moneyed interests of the USA, continue to back Trump and profiteer from his criminal actions.

The board members of Disney, Fox, Comcast, and Viacom, as well as almost all other corporations board members have no interest in stopping Trump and the rest of the GOP thugs as they are making money and retaining power. These people are von Papens.

11. Problems are, we can quarantine X number days & get it 1st day out. & have it & not know it.

& multiply both those things by everybody else around us.

[2naSalit]

13. +1

And there is no known immunity so expecting to achieve herd immunity is a nothingburger.

12. A dear friend called a couple nights ago

and told me they had something but weren't sure what. I asked about numerous symptoms and I think they may have it. I advised them about what I had read and we compared notes. They think they are over it but I told them to beware of a return in 30-48 hours. I think I'll check on them tomorrow.

14. I know several people, none who need hospitalization

Including a co-worker.


I’m also a nurse who works in the hospital so, I know “of” many. Too many

15. My brother is an ER doctor in LA and has treated people with it.

I worry about his safety and the safety of his staff.

[greenjar_01]

16. Personally know 14 people with positive diagnoses, one of whom died, March 26

Queens, NY.

17. I have had it and recovered

[Quixote1818]

19. Glad you're okay! nt

18. A high school friend of our daughter's who's 50

and works in a nursing home in Petoskey, MI (UP) tested positive for Covid-19 early in the pandemic. She luckily had a mild case and fully recovered. She has problems with depression to begin with, and now she's struggling with guilt with her good fortune given what's happened to others.

She's a single (divorced) cat lady and feels very deeply for the people who have died and left behind spouses and children. She seems to be doing better this month, thankfully.

20. I know at least five people who have had COVID19

My daughter’s godfather
My wife’s aunt and uncle, the uncle’s daughter, the uncle’s ex-wife.

They all live within one of the five boroughs of NYC, two of them work for the NYPD.

21. My sister-in-law had it but she has recovered. n/t
