Covid 19. Do you know anyone personally that has had it?

Nope, don't know a single person who has had it. Neither does DH. DD only knows one person who had it early on. He lives in Austin but contracted it at Mardi Gras in NOLA. Between the three of us, we know a lot of people too.  That said, we still limit where we go and wear masks.  

Kind of... sibling of co-worker. No one else in the family got it as far as I know and they had a family gathering a few days before.

Only one person at DH’s work, we’ve been very fortunate. Like Gypsy, we still take all precautions.

Yes. A coworker tested positive a couple of weeks ago. (Which was a bit ironic because she thought she had been exposed earlier in the pandemic but nothing came of it then.) She said her main symptom was fatigue.

My friend’s grandmother had it pretty early on. She was in ICU and on a ventilator. I honestly didn’t think she was going to make it, but she did. She was the first person to be released from our local hospital’s covid ward. Up until a few weeks ago, our cases (I’m near Austin) had been pretty low. But our curve has turned into a vertical line the last few weeks.

Yes.  Family friends.  I also “know” (general know/small town) a handful of others.  Two of them were hospitalized/ICU.  

We’ve had a friend in ICU since April. He’s in his 60s. He’s the only one we know. He was travelling by air in April.

One person - the husband of a friend. He had chronic health problems and was in the hospital for something unrelated. He was sent home after being there for months, developed symptoms the day after he got home and went right back to the hospital. He didn’t survive the week.

I am so sorry. 

I personally know 4 people who have had it. It kicked all of their butts for well over a month.

Someone I work with but he is in a different state than me. Two other people in the office tested positive but did not have severe symptoms. The other guy said days 2 and 3 were awful. He felt a little better after those days but still very tired and weak. He took the hydrochloroquine drug and said he could feel a difference within a few hours.

No

Yes. Ex had it (he tested positive for the antibodies but couldn’t get a test mid March when he was sick), I had the same symptoms as he shortly after his started. It took months for us to recover, and there are still lingering lung, fatigue and mental impacts now. I still haven’t regained my senses of smell/ taste. Possibly 2 of our kids did, but there was no testing then so we don’t know. Youngest had a flu diagnosis, but wasn’t tested for Covid, and Dd had a mystery illness with high fever, rash and shutting down her kidneys. Her drs were baffled by that in March. She is recovered now except for horrible fatigue (but she did have mono last year and hadn’t fully recovered from that either).

Edited to add: dd (15) also had a classmate and their mother who tested positive mid March. I believe they are both recovered now.

When I texted my handyman last month needing him to come over he texted back and could not come as he was being tested for Covid and being quarantined. I have not heard from him, so I assume the test came back positive.

I was very sick in December and still cannot get my energy and strength back. I tire super fast. My friends who are nurses and a friend who used to be a respiratory therapist think I had Covid but I never went to a doctor. Back then no one would have known that was what it was.
