Not diagnosed (never tested), but my two friends had fevers and cough after returning from Spain. They have since recovered fully.

One Coworker’s mother died of coronavirus and my other coworker’s mother was just diagnosed today. We are only a small company of 15 people so it’s a lot.

Please don’t let the responses fool you. This is a serious pandemic and needs to be take seriously. My neighbors father is on a ventilator in an induced coma trying to fight for his life. And he followed social distancing. Be smart and safe everyone.

Thankfully no but with both of my best friends working essential jobs I’m wondering how long that will be true for.

My cousin got diagnosed yesterday

No. There's not very many cases in Iowa. People are using common sense without a government mandate.

5 people.

Yes, my wife’s best friend. She is a nurse on the covid unit. She had a patient that came in about 2 weeks ago and was positive. They ran out of PPE, but were still caring for him. She developed a cough about a week ago but they told her to keep working since she didn’t have a fever. A couple people on her unit recently tested positive and are all at home quarantining. My wife has been playing games on her phone with her to try to take her mind off of it.

Yep I do now. Like four or 5 cousins in Lexington, KY and Cincinnati, OH apparently they met and had dinner and all are in ICU on ventilators. Just found out tonight when a daughter posted status on her mother’s Facebook page asking thanking folks for prayers.

I heard the COVID-19 got the Chuck Norrisvirus.

Yes. A nurse friend. She was able to recover at home and now back to work.

Acquaintance

I belong to a church with 4000 members and a gun club with 1000 members. None of those 5000 are infected.

No, I don’t know anyone who has gotten it.

No. But I work in a hospital so I’m sure I have plenty of chances for exposure.

I think I had it, but could not get tested, so I won’t know unless I get the “real” virus later on...

Yes.
My friend in NY whose mother was “not sick enough” to take to the hospital (per the ambulance driver) is now hospitalized with a positive diagnosis of coronavirus!
And her son, my friend, caught it from her taking care of her because she wasn’t taken to the hospital.
Now he’s quarantining at home, trying to not share it with his wife and daughter.

This shows why NY is a hotspot. The decision-making and control process is ass-backwards there.

You don’t get to the hospital until you’re too sick.
You don’t get medication unless you’re at the hospital.
You can’t get tested unless you go to the hospital.

It’s the opposite of California. Maybe this is why CA curve is flattened? (Well, let’s see what happens now that it’s hit LA’s skid row)

Apparently so... I’ve been holding back concerned it was small town gossip but my sources are saying it’s true. One high school class mate and his sister. My county is reporting six cases and one death.

Yes. Friends son

I'm 90% sure that me, my husband, and my son all have it. We have the symptoms of fever, slight difficulty breathing, and cough. My son went to get tested today because he has to for work (ER nurse), so I'll know for sure in a few days.

My mom (MI)

My best friend (IT)

My aunt (MI, fully recovered)

Still yes

My friends father, does that count?

Thankfully, "No"...

Yes, unfortunately.

My good friend from Boston is infected. He is 75, and not in the best shape right now. Thankfully, he isn’t critically ill, just has really bad flu-like symptoms. I’m hoping he gets better soon.

My best friend from high-school and his wife (Mexico)

3 of my wife’s cousins (London)

A good friend and colleague and his daughter (here)

And a bunch of people that aren’t close to me but I know them well.

I have three friends recovering right now. My wife has one. My wife's friend is in her 60s.

Yes... I found out last night that two good friends of mine (married couple in NYC) are recovering from coronavirus. I know of one other acquaintance (in Mass) who is also recovering.

Nope.
