    Pretty sure I had the damned thing in middle of February into beginning of March. Without the antibody test I guess I will never know. So my answer is...maybe?
     
  2. Yeah had some rotten shiite about then too. Like nothing I've ever had. Lot of the usual covid symptoms with a couple days of hard to breathe fun. Then some funky muscle pain. Didn't lose sense of taste tho. I'll eventually get an antibody test.
     
  3. I personally know one young woman who had it and recovered. I have a couple of friends who have had family members and friends of their own who have had it. That number is 3 people. One recovered , a female and two others were older men who died. Deaths were in NYC. Other than that no personal experience.

    I know 5 ppl who have/had it. One family member (survived). The only active case is 82yo and tested positive and now test negative with active disease (Os via nasal cannula). Two died. Sounds like the flu to me! :finger:

    Well either you hang out with very fragile people, have a more active social life than a campaigning politician or are making this up.Stats say for those 2 people who died, 200 to 500 coronavirus patients have survived, and over 20 times more have avoided the virus altogether, with Spain faring the worst for some reason when it comes to fatality rate, let s see if they messed up their whole population estimate.
    I ve heard of a cpuple of people dying as well btw, but didn t know them. Only heard someone reading about them in a whatsapp group, parents of active members, but Madrid declared abt 10 000deaths for 6.6mil inhabitants. Anybody testing positive for coronavirus and dying was registered as a corona death though according to authorities, in care home only symptoms were enough (sure about France should double check in Spain), as if usually old people don t die of respiratory issues
    We ve been locked in for over 2 months though, might hear of more cases later on
