Zero, I guess I know fewer people than you ... however, people have accused me of having it, does that count?
Accused you?
You had some symptoms similar to it but never got tested for the virus or antibodies?
I was tested for antibodies in April - negative.
Then around Memorial Day I had a terrible sinus issue that I thought was allergies (though I've never had allergies) or a sinus infection.
2 tests - both negative.
If this thing ever lets up I'm going to ask my doctor to test me for allergies because if this bout around Memorial Day was a sinus infection it lasted 3 weeks which would be very rare.
My husband tested positive. Cough and really tired. He's 64 with heart stents and high blood pressure, so i am happy it was mild. I believe i caught it right after him, and have slight cough, was achy and tired for 1 day, and lost my sense of smell/taste. Just starting to get those back a little. Been 2 weeks. We both quarantined at home. Took vit c, tumeric/curcumin, vit D, and zinc as soon as he felt sick. He had a fever for about an hr the first day. I never had a fever. No medical treatment. We were told to quarantine, but no contact tracing. I felt fine after that 1 day. He has just been really tired, and has a cough, but is getting less tired each day.
FWIW we wore masks religiously since mar 15, wash hands frequently and social distance.

One of my good friends died recently and C19 was the cause...he was in his mid 60s, in a nursing home and had serious health problems though, including Diabetes.
One of our store mgrs had it, and was in the hospital for a little while, she was sick for about a month and a half, but she finally did recover, she is in her early 30s and in good health, non smoker, no drugs or alcohol use, eats right, exercises, etc.

I was diagnosed last June during my hospital stay with copd --- the symptom are the same as covid-19. How do I know I do not have it --- I am alive. I got sick with 'allergies' January 2019; everyday I thought I will be better tomorrow. The next day came and I was not --- allergies is how it starts (still new to figuring things out) then the allergies turn into infection, infection into not being able to breath, not being able to breath call 9-1-1, June 2019.
In march this year, allergies kicked in again, but this time I was on it, with dr visit to get antibiotics --- that would not have helped if it was covid rather than copd escapade.. anyway, long story short, family members, even my x husband that has copd, didn't want to be around me and accused me of having copd --- I told them once my stomach hurt and they said, you may have covid ... lol
I see crazy people jumping at ghosts around me ...
copd as it turns out is hereditary --- I've had it all my life and as I have had things explained to me I get all the chit I've been through from childhood to date.
Have your allergies checked out and if you're wheezing, get a chest x-ray. It's good you got your tests done --- for me, I see no point in worrying with it, but I did make sure all my wishes would be met in the event, I hit pay dirt on this bug.
btw: I'm to see a pulmonary specialist next month on the 11th for my copd, I think, cause something was said, they're screening me for covid --- so again, do I count?

My husband and son were both sick back at the end of March/beginning of April with a cold for 2 weeks. I had a sore scratchy throat right after for about 3 weeks but we never were tested.
I know of 2 close/personal friends/relatives. My cousin is in assisted living. He's had a stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, stents in his heart and waiting now to get an angiogram as his heart's only operating at 30%. He was confined in a room with hs girlfriend who has heart problems and Parkinson's. He tested positive and was removed from the room and quarantined. He had what he described as a cold. His girlfriend tested negative until 3 weeks ago - she now tests negative. Both in their 70's.
I have 2 friends who's moms tested positive. Over 65 with comorbidities - no hospitalization and both tested negative this week - both in Florida.
I think there is a hysteria that is unwarranted. Is that clear enough? No disrespect to those that have succumbed to this disease, and may they Rest In Peace, but again, I think the hysteria is unwarranted.
If you don’t agree, of course that is your prerogative. Carry on.
It's seems we live in a world of extremes that only allows the existence of one position or the other.
You're either so paranoid that you want to keep the shut downs going indefinitely, regardless of all the negative consequences.......
Or you're a complete denier who wants to kill people with your indifference and irresponsibility.
You're either completely devoted to Black Lives Matter â„¢
Or you're a racist POS.
The mob doesn't allow for questioning of the narrative.
I know one person in their mid 30s who died from COVID. He was in otherwise good health (as determined by the doctors). His parents were both retired doctors as well and were able to help him diagnose it early (by just paying attention to symptoms).
I know two other people who had the symptoms but both tested negative and recovered (well, one of them is well into recover -- knock on wood). So either the test didn't catch it or they didn't have it to begin with.
We know at least 4 who were hospitalized (1 over 3 months) and 6 who died
2 fighting it right now
Wear your DAMN MASK! Wash your hands and be safe
I had the crap and it didn't kill me...
I paid for the antibody test after which they wanted some more blood for free....I told them the only way they' ed get was to mop it off the floor after the shootout......
