In reply to the discussion: Who here knows someone personally who has/had Covid-19? [View all]Ms. Toad
(38,740 posts)One exposed me - back in January before anyone knew what it was. She was diagnosed with walking pnuemonia, her daughter had all of the skin lesions kids get her husband was diagnosed with a sinus infection. Just recently, after a lung X-ray showed damage to her lungs that looked suspicious, she tested positive for antibodies.
One friend died (he was listed in the NYT 100,000), one has permanent damage, one was sic for more than two months. The others I don't know long term outcomes.
At some point, I'll get an antibody test.
During the time she had COVID, she intermittently came to work and - at least twice - I sat across the table from her (a scant 6') for hour long sessions.
Two students, the girlfriend of one, a church friend, and the uncle/great uncle/wife of a half-dozen friends.
