Poll: how many people do you know who have or have had COVID-19? (home, college)

[poppydog]

Just wondering how many people y'all know who have or have had COVID-19. The number keep creeping up for me.

[m378]

I heard one person at my work has had it, and I know two people from my home state.

I personally don't know anyone here in NC that has had it, but my circle isn't very big

5 "confirmed" (2 are a couple who shared it among themselves; confirmed in quotes because people have questions about the accuracy of the tests). None were overly serious cases.


My sister up in MA's good friend got it. Went from healthy to dead in a couple of days. Blood clots got him.

I know two people locally and one other person in GA. All recovered.

Got the poll up now, so y'all can check the boxes.

I put I knew 6 people and 1 who died, but I forgot at least one I know who has recovered. So it should be at least 7, but I still feel like that may not be all of them. My kids' friend and her parents got it (3), an acquaintance of mine got it early on in Feb or March after traveling to Europe (4), just yesterday I learned that two more friends are recovering (6), and my niece's father-in-law died from it. (7)

5 (2 adults, 3 college students), none died.

Shoot, I just remembered the other two friends who had it, so that brings my friend total up to 9 instead of 6.

Only 3 so far. One here and 2 in another country. All recovered. All are under 35.

My good friend's aunt (60-65 yo)in NJ died from it. It was pretty heart breaking when he told me the whole story over the phone. It happened during that time when NY was going crazy. He is a third generation Armenian and apparently every life event is a pretty big deal in his family. But, he said they just let the funeral home take care of it. And that was it. His parents, esp. his mom, were besides themselves with grief... but they are in their late 60s and apparently didn't want to risk it. Plus he is in California... so not like he could go and console them either. Just such a sad thing.
