In reply to the discussion: Who here knows someone personally who has/had Covid-19? [View all]luvs2sing
(2,234 posts)13. I know one person who had it very early.
She is the next door neighbor of one of the first cases here in Columbus. She visited her neighbor the day before the neighbor got sick. She had a mild case, posted about the experience on Facebook, and was recovered in about ten days.
One of my choir friends lost her husband in early April to COVID very tragically. He had been in the hospital for several weeks and was transferred to a rehab facility. The facilitys first case was discovered that same day, within 24 hours he was sick and transferred back to the hospital where he died five days later.
