Thats a pretty steady change. Thanks for keeping up on this, its fascinating.

My daughter started a hospital based internship at a large regional hospital today. They took her temp upon entry. No PPE necessary. Even the nurses she had lunch with who worked with covid patients said that unless face to face they were not wearing masks. So over this hysteria.

I don’t believe that number since Dr. Birx admitted that the number of deaths are being inflated with people that have pre-existing conditions and already have one foot in the grave.

It’s totally overhyped.

I agree. Thanks, Shaz!

Unfortunately yes I know half a dozen people that got the virus. Luckily they all recovered.

Nope. Most die from pre-existing conditions and the number is inflated according to Dr. Birx. I don’t know why you’re having such a hard time understanding what she said. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Except she said it’s not complications from the Chinese virus. It’s complications from heart failure, kidney disease, cancer, a tumor, liver failure... ect... ect...

You have to work on your reading comprehension kiddo.

In about 2 months we went from just over to 1 in 20 to more than 1 in 4. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues over the next 2 months.

Yep. Dr. Birx admitted to inflating the deaths. Thanks for posting that so I didn’t have to.

Answering yes for the first time.

The percentage of “yes” answers keeps going up every time does question is asked.

You do. Other countries are doing it correctly. We are not. The number is inflated in the US according to Dr. Birx.

I do not no one single person or heard of any of friends or family members of friends

A few people from my temple

We just passed 90,000 deaths in three months. Stop being an ass.

I think it will definitely increase as things reopen.... it is sad that people care more about money than health.

Yup- I currently have Covid19 :/ I am a nurse so I most likely picked it up at the hospital.

It’s probably too late now but I wish this series stressed actively infected. It seems pointless to keep answering yes when the subject has been recovered for nearly 2 months

We hit 90,000 deaths today. That’s the equivalent of 3,000 9/11s or 22,500 Benghazi’s.

I’d say 90,000 American deaths in three months is cause for at least a hint of hysterics.

Nope. Is this still a thing?

A coworker's sister just died from COVID last week. No underlying conditions, she just couldn't breathe.

Tons now. My best friends and girlfriend all work together and their job had an outbreak basically everyone in the building got it but her since she is the secretary up front.

What’s the severity of your symptoms?

No. A couple of coworkers but that's it.

😂

Family friend was diagnosed over a month ago. He has recovered now. A few of my step-dad’s customers have also been infected, but he hasn’t had contact with them. My Mimi’s old co-worker who she always talked about with me died from it, sadly.

As you’d expect. It’s really an awesome poll idea.

Fever (highest was 101) but now 99s. Headache that just wont go away. Loss of taste/smell. Swollen glands, and cough

Friends, no family members.

Yes but I don't really like them.

Statistically, it would have to go up. The question is, do you know anybody who *has been* diagnosed? So, even after that person either recovers or dies, you will continue to answer yes, every time the question is asked.

The thing to look at is the percentage of increase. It went up more quickly, at the beginning of this series. Also, as @Jerbehr suggested, a better question might have been, do you know someone who *now* has the virus?

.

Actually, it doesn’t have to go up as the sample size could change from week to week. Some users who previously answered yes may be present while some who answered no could now be present. It’s likely to go up, but not impossible for it to go down.

If it were a constant body that was being polled, then the increases would be more meaningful. This poll series is interesting, but not at all scientific (nothing on SOH is).

More testing will show greater positive numbers. The percentage of deaths to the whole appear to be going down however.
My friend was in the hospital early on for something else entirely and was diagnosed with Covid19 after he died. Was it? Who knows.

I have a friend dead of it. I have a family member dead of it.

Dr. Birx is a Trump parrot.

Kind of. Cousin of my brother-in-law just was released after three weeks in the hospital.

I don’t know anyone who has had it.

A father figure who raised me passed away from it in April.

Overall though, aren’t total deaths (including everything: accidents, homicides, seasonal flu, heart disease, cancer) down in this social distancing period? Maybe there’s an inverse 9/11 going on here, so to speak.

Yes sorry. Put the rounded death count instead of the factor. My bad.

30 9/11s, you mean.

In other words, other counties are undercounting. We were DEFINITELY undercounting, probably for months.

No, the other countries are counting wrong. Even if they are vulnerable in other ways, if they died from COVID, they died from COVID. This virus just happens to affect those people the hardest. Some viruses, like the 2008 flu, affected young people more severely.

OZ - I'm just curious. How did you answer this question?

She said “other countries.” Who needs to work on their comprehension?

Me either.

The mental acrobatics you must have to leap through to come to that conclusion is baffling. If they died from complications from COVID-19, then guess what? They died from COVID-19. That’s how coroners work. Also, everyone knows you’re liking your own posts. 😂

Yep as I mentioned before I had 4 in one group 2 in Ohio are now recovered and there were 2 in KY the husband died and she has been released from the hospital. Nevertheless, her new normal is convalescence at her son’s home. She expects to return to normal.

Local pastor diagnosed early on here in Denver has recovered and back to normal.

Local relative of my son-in-law 28 year old female died of COVID-19 and family is hiding it. Imagine the stigma of people wondering if they got exposed. Also, awaiting the coroner’s report. We’re now having the just because you had it doesn’t mean it’s what you died from 🙄 controversy here. She was 28 and healthy so whatever it was was lethal apparently.

No family members were exposed and funeral was carefully conducted but not streamed online and I didn’t attend.

My friend who died locally that I mentioned earlier was buried and we watched his online funeral ....no family members or acquaintances have been important impacted.
