I know someone who has it in New York City. She's 67. She's having trouble talking but it doesn't appear to be life threatening. Apparently, a bunch of people at my school district in New Jersey have it but I don't know who.

2 tested and confirmed deaths that I 100% believe. And 1 other person tested positive that I 100% believe. Not a brag, but my wife and I know a shitload of people. I'm not active on Facebook much but probably around 2-3k "friends" on that social network between both of us.

These 3 cases were family/friends OF friends. No direct connection. So I'd guess I'm 3 positive tests out of 5-8k people if we get to the 2nd level. It's not common here in IL regardless of the press. A friend notifying me of a family member death is a much higher probability than what's occurring directly linked to CV-19. Basically cancer, heart attacks, etc. are a more common occurrence in my sphere. 1 suicide though.

Oh, and both that died were 55+, with one having underlying health conditions. The other was 65ish and recovered. If you're old, stay home. And don't let the young visit.

My grandmother had the 1918 flu when she was 7. She told me the worst night the doc came to visit and she recalls he stepped out of her bedroom to discuss in the hallway with her mom. She could hear everything they said. Interesting it was a house call.. Anyhow, he told her mom, "Your daughter will not live through the night", then he left.

Asshole right!?

My Daughter's boyfriend's brother is sick in New York City with it.

I don’t know of anyone.

Quite common up through the 1960's. My friend and I used to take his physician father who practiced in West, Texas from 1934 to 1968 on rural house calls. They had a screened in porch on their 1925 built house converted into a home office where people could come by after hours for consultation. People would have a runny nose all day but not go by his office during daytime hours, then show up at the back door at 8:00 p.m. and he'd visit with them for no charge. We could hear through the door to the porch/office and one night a family brought their teen-age Down's syndrome daughter. When Dr. Gidney gave her a shot she screamed and called him an SOB.

Yes someone I work with. Like see them every day. Another might be.

Don’t know anyone who has died or even been in the hospital. My co workers fight like hell with me on this one but best they can do is I heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another. Or worse yet:

Me: don’t worry, nothings going to happen to your kids even if they get it.
Them: ZOMG THAT BABY IN CONNETICUT DIED
Me: bullshit. Guaranteed it’s not corona.
Them: ZOOMG YOU AND YOUR CONSPIRACIES!!!!
Me: 🤨

Just had a neighbor in his 70s get CV-19, go to the hospital for a few days, recovered and was sent home. He is now supposed to stay isolated for another 8 days. He is not overweight, does not smoke, and is health enough that he regularly cuts his 1/2 acre lawn with a push mower.

We don't know anyone with a confirmed case, nor any deaths.

:
Even if you are in New York City, less than 1%, (,007), are confirmed to have it. That's probably half way accurate for the percentage that are symptomatic,

But this is why we are doing this social distancing thing, so that the numbers stay small. Because we have data on what percentage of those that get it, will die.

In any case, it shouldn't be that surprising that you don't know anyone, yet anyway.

Yeah, overseas 2 relatives confirmed, in their 70s and both successfully treated with azithromycin. Recovering.

One of my neighbors cousin died. He had cancer and other problems when he got corona. So technically he was overloaded with all sorts of diseases and this was the final nail in his coffin.

No.

I don't know directly. someone passed away because of the virus who worked for Broadcom,San Jose. He might have traveled to China.
