“Anyone here know someone who died of COVID19?”

In Social MediaLand, everyone knows at least a couple people who have, and ARE VERY WORRIED.

My son’s neighbor is sick and tested positive. An older family friend has been in the ICU for three days with Coronavirus. He is 72 so we are very worried that he won’t recover.

The current rate of COVID-19 deaths is the US is 1 in 125,000 or 0.0008%.

It's not likely that a large proportion of people would know someone who's died of COVID-19 unless we're talking about a celebrity or a nationally-known musician.
