Do you know anyone personally with covid-19?

So far no, but I am sure as this goes on as  it seems to be doing; that may change for all of us.

Yes, we have friends where the whole family got it -- the Byler's, Jud and his wife Rebecca, and Ben, their son, and his wife, Jemma.  Our daughters grew up working together as child entertainers at the Opryland Theme Park, and we have remained friends. Jud was in the hospital around 40 days, and on a ventilator much of the time. Their daughter, Liz, kept everyone informed through Facebook.  I have never witnessed such faith in God, as she was always optimistic and at peace with God's plan.  Around Easter, Jud started showing slight improvement, and began to take a turn for the better.  It was truly a miracle that he survived.  His doctors nicknamed him Lazarus!  He had been home from the hospital a couple of days when he had to be readmitted for infected bed sores. The doctors have decided that they can heal his wounds without surgery, and he is now back home, grateful to be alive. He still has a long road ahead of him.  Both his wife and son had to be hospitalized, but his son's wife remained asymptomatic. Watching their journey has made quite an impact on our family, and has reinforced just how serious we should be treating this new reality.

We think my dad had it. He was really sick in the hopital in Febuary with some kind of virus and this was before all the non sense started. He got a blood test last week to comfirm so we will be finding out soon.

Personally, I don't thank God. This whole thing is scary.

[suemgross]

I've been lucky.  No one I know has contracted the virus.

Thankfully so far no.  Who knows how that will change in the future.

My aunt passed away two weeks ago from COVID-19. She was 85.

I know a couple of people who suspect they might have had it. Due to lack of testing they never got confirmation.

One of our friends went to the hospital and they said he had a heart attack and then came down with pneumonia, he walked out of the hospital 2 weeks later(he wasnt discharged). Someone picked him up and took him home and he died a week later. My brother lent him money 2 days before he died and said he looked really bad, had no idea he had covid 19. A week and a half later my brother got really sick and was sick for over a month, he had all the symptoms but didn't need to be hospitalized luckily. He was never tested but pretty sure he had it.

I don't, but my husband does, but they came through it and are fine now.  My daughter friend sister passed away with the virus, I knew her when she was a little girl, but have not seen her in years. Such a loss she left twin boys.

Fortunately no...though my girlfriend has co-workers who had it so she was home for two weeks to make sure she doesn't have or get it

Just heard that some colleagues with loved ones infected, hopefully they will recover soon

Glad they are ok.  Some people really think this is a hoax and not real and not taking it seriously.  This is not a joke.

No and this is a question a lot of people are asking. I heard a friend of a friend of a friend had it. Or a friend of the daughter of the best friend of the owner of the local p-a-w-n shop had it.   But nobody I know can name any person they know personally who has or had this.

Had to edit this post because p-a-w-n was "bleeped out" HOW can that be a bad word when the f word can be typed and not bleeped out? Good grief.
