That is awful. I am so sorry. Where do you live?

Yes. In mid-March then lost smell and taste nearly completely from April-June.

like

Wish I had eaten bird food. Instead my Corona-shelter-in-place housemates and I kept cooking to see if I could taste anything. I also did a lot of wine tasting at home with them to see if my sniffer would work. Was very exciting in May when I'd smell or taste a lil waft of something and realize, "Im coming back, baby!!!"

funny

Me = no. Family and friends = yes, around 11-12 people of varying ages. 4 deaths between the ages of 60 and 85.

It is heartbreaking, especially if you think of the fact that we never got to see those loved ones after they tested positive. We didn’t get to bury them or perform last rites. We lost them suddenly and completely. My aunt and her husband both tested positive but were separated at the hospital - she never saw him alive again. It is truly heartbreaking.

like

Me no. Sister yes (IL). Parents yes (FL). Dad was on ventilator for 10 days.

like

I had it - very mild (I’m also a health and exercise nut.). No lung issues at all - just a light fever and some headache. Passed after about 3 days. Counting myself lucky I guess.

like

Too many to count. Many in my agency. A few in my circle of friends. Relatives in multiple countries and US states have had it. Many not in urban areas. Lost an aunt who was not ill . Also lost a High school friend at age 39. No health issues. Many friends have lost parents who were in 60s and 70s. . And just found out last night that 5 relatives in another state—not in the same household—have it. One is in the ICU. Not a one of them can tell you where they think they got exposed. All will say they were really careful.

Had low grade fever for a week around March 10 living in NYC so maybe. But Probably not. Know a lot of people in Brazil (my home country) that had it, a few deaths. In the US I know 2 people that had it.

This was my experience, but in Chicago. Fever of ~100 during the second week of March.

I’d just been traveling and was among a big group of people traveling from China. Me and my SO both got sick, so likelihood of it being Covid is high. Just wish I could confirm!

Haha 19
