I’ll start:
That’s all I got
I know zero.
I know zero of any age. But I doubt thats unusual.
Haha!
I do not know anyone that knows anyone that died or has been infected?
This is why I am asking.
Covid-19 - I know one survivor.
H1N1 (2009 Swine Flu) - I “know” of one death, a teenage girl of a man I know from online.
Seasonal influenza - Don’t know anyone who ever died from it.
Here’s my list:
1.
Hubby and I don't know anyone of any age who has died from Coronavirus. Nor anyone who is even infected with Coronavirus.
And we live 130 miles NE of the "hotspot" of NYC.
I know of two people - one I’ve personally met, and another that a close personal acquaintance knows of. Both were tested for covid-19, took the malaria drug along with antibiotics and were put on ventilators. Both died. Only two people I know of who have died of any kind of pneumonia. Acquaintances have had pneumonia, but these are the first deaths I’ve heard of. Never heard of anyone who’s died of the flu, either. Whereas cancer, heart attack, stroke and accident - know plenty of people who’ve died of those, including people in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.
Another Freeper mentioned a deceased in-law:

One.
A client’s younger brother, in his 40s. Was a shock to his whole family.
zero dead
zero infected
My state is posting stats by zip code. Within my zip code, which is quite a small, densely populated area, there are supposedly 39 cases. I haven’t heard of a single person who has it... one would think you would hear this through Facebook or NextDoor, but have not heard a peep.
I only know one person who got it. And even as a leukemia & bone marrow transplant survivor, he has recuperated from home.
I work in a hospital ER in NJ. In this last week alone there have been four deaths from Covid in the ER I work in but I didn’t know their names. I don’t have access to that information, it’s not in the scope of what my job is to know names in particular. Privacy laws called ‘’HIPPA’’ regulations come into play and you can get in big trouble releasing patients names and other personal information. I can tell you that of the four deaths three were elderly people, who had under lying conditions and the fourth was a middle-aged African American male. That one was particularly sad. The Poor guy left behind a wife and four kids.
I only know of one person who has died, but I think he was 70 or close to it. He had other problems too.
I have asked all family members and and friends AND strangers if they know of anyone that even got sick no less died. None. The statistics should tell the amount of people that died compared to total population. Slim.
I know 8 people infected, 2 of whom died.
under 70: 5 infected, 1 died.
over 70: 3 infected, 1 died.
Are you implying that its OK if somebody over 70 dies? How do you know they wouldn’t have lived 15 more years?
