Do you personally know anyone with CV?

[OdetteOdile]

This one has me shaky. I went to high school with Gabby, we graduated in the same class. We are the same age. We are both special education teachers in NYC for the same amount of time. We both have a four year old. We are both pregnant with our second child. She just died. NYC Teacher

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend! I read the article, and it sounds like she was such an amazing teacher and friend. What a loss.

After 3 months my answer is still a no!...

In fact I can't recall a single Pser can confirm they have contracted the virus.

My brother in law's father recently died of Covid-19.

 

[Wewechew]

There have been multiple positive cases in my company across our 28 branches (including mine). None I know personally, but I know that is coming.

My Aunt, Uncle and cousin were Covid positive. We are in NY. She was hospitalized for a week and is partaking in a plasma study now. They all have fully recovered despite being over 80 and smokers.

I'm glad they recovered. This lends credence to what I read from a doctor, which is that there seems to be no rhyme or reason for who gets it bad and who doesn't!

@JPie and @Wewechew Yes! Amazing considering. My uncle is also diabetic. They all smoke. My Aunt was admitted for five days. My Uncle refused to go to the hospital and fought through it at home. Lucky!!

My sister who is 56 and her hubby who is 59 both got it but their live in daughters 27 and 32 were both asymptomatic. She had a slight fever for 2 days and reported feeling exhausted. He has a fever for 8 days. Turns out his 3 of his coworkers Had it too. They are welders. Thank God all are fine!

 

[Musia]

Personally I don't know any person who even tasted positive or has antibodies found in the system. But my son in law works as a respiratory therapist for county hospital here in California (SF Bay area). He works mainly at NICU with babies. But he told us that he saw people dying from CV. Not many but I was shaking after hearing his stories.

Absolutely amazing Makes me feel better that it really doesn’t matter what your age or any preexisting conditions

 

[etudes]

A friend's dad died of covid-19 last month. An upperclassman also died earlier this month, he was only 37.

 

[OreoRosies86]

Our downstairs neighbor’s mother just died from covid.

 

[AprilBaby]

My granddaughters other grandmother just got diagnosed today. She spends almost every day but Monday (which is my day) with her daughter and the baby. We were at my sons for dinner Friday night, she got the fever Saturday. Hopefully DIL and baby don’t get it or are not currently contagious or I’m screwed!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Thanks @Daisys and Diamonds and @missy for your well wishes!

Just wondering how things are ?
I mean you said hubbie had recovered
Is he now fully recovered ? I hope
Just you hear on the news about lingering symptoms for months

Thank God! I am glad they have recovered.

Prayers for you. I will keep good thoughts and hope that you and your DIL and baby are safe.

If I recall, I think @kipari 's children had it? Friends of ours traveled to Europe on a ski trip just as things were going sideways. I couldn't believe they went. They came home with COVID, both of them. It was mild for them (mid-50's) and both fully recuperated. Some of DH's co-workers also had it and also recuperated fully. Again, in their mid-50's.

No, luckily, no one in my immediate family had it, but we lost 2 extended family members and I know a bunch of people who had it (confirmed cases)

As an update to one of my stories: my doctor friend's employee who got tested after being symptom free for a couple of days and was still positive kept getting tested weekly. Again: they are a practice with 4 doctors, so didn't want any risk at all. Her tests kept coming back positive for two months after the last symptoms.

Of course one doesn't know how high the viral load is and if she'd have been sufficiency contagious to actually infect people, but that freaked the four doctors out. And frankly me too.

 

[SparklieBug]

Thanks for explaining, @kipari . That's wild that the tests were positive for so long. I wonder if she was infectious all that time?!

right? I guess they should have included her in a study or something

 

[SparklieBug]

There is still so much that's unknown with COVID...

This. It worries me to see people letting their guard down.

Exactly.

 

[OreoRosies86]

All I see on the town pages here are older people packing into restaurants and encouraging people to “share tables!” and “get to know your neighbor!”

A lovely sentiment, but NOT with cases spiking like they are.

*young people are out too, but I am genuinely worried about the people I’m seeing at restaurants and golf courses right now.

 

[missy]

I don’t think many of the people I’m seeing on the beach and boardwalk ever had their guard up to begin with...

Worries me as well. Humans are their own worst enemies. :/

@Daisys and Diamonds , thank you for your concern. He is doing fine. I just wish I had a way to stop him from rubbing his eyes and nose!

Glad he's on the mend
I well know how hard that is
Im a cronic eye rubber
i now wear a ring on my index finger every time i go out to remind me not to do it

could be a good time for you to buy him some man bling !

If he's not a jewelry wearer just buy him a couple of cheaper fashion silver rings from a mall menswear shop - but get big clunky rings that make it uncomfortable for him to rub his eyes

i now probsbly rub my eyes 95% less
