Friend of my cousin died from it, 53, 3 kids, he was receiving treatment for leukaemia in hospital when he caught it. 4 of the blokes I work with got it, one ended up on a ventilator but pulled through, two of the others said it knocked them on their arse from day 6 to 10, one of the others still has lasting after effects.
 
My little sister had the ***** for like a week, but other than that thankfully all seemingly minor cases among people I know. Thoughts to those who've lost anyone.
 
This is a stupid, lazy poll. Feels like one of the idiot, on line polls you take to see if you are really in love or what Norse god you are.

So which Norse god are you in love with?
 
It's crazy how varied the symptoms are. I know that the Flu can be less serious or more serious (to the point of causing death) but it doesn't seem like it presents the same symptom bingo that COVID does.

Nah those polls are predictably always flattering.
Like what celebrity do you look like? It's always a handsome actor or beautiful singer or whatever. It's never norm from cheers or Rosie o donnel.

This poll/thread has a lot of variance and I'm curious to hear what has happened to people since the pool of people I know who have had it and can draw info from is pretty small.

That l know of, I have 7 relatives who tested positive. 4 in NY/NJ and 3 in Texas. 1 was hospitalized but only briefly - had no pre existing conditions.

My brother almost certainly had it being his wife had it.

My wife and l most likely had it late February - about 2 weeks before the **** hit the fan. We were both sick with flu like symptoms we've never experienced in our lives. My wife has been tested about 6 or 7 times being she's a DOH employee - all negative. I've never been tested.

If you've already had it then a standard nose swab won't show it. It needs to be a blood test at that point, check for antigens.

Yes, that's how my sister in law found out she had it - however my brother's blood did not show the presence of any anitgens. They hypothesized that my brother got it and gave it to his wife. And the amount of time elapsed where it would not be detectable in my brother's blood.

This seems plausible being my brother works in NYC at a very high risk job (elevator inspector) whereas his wife works from home full time - even before this started.

If my wife and I contracted it in February, the standard antigen test would certainly show as negative at this point.
 
One of my old friends, who I was pretty close with back in grade school/high school, dad passed away from it.
