Have you been diagnosed with Covid-19?

2020-08-04T09:32:47-04:00

I’m curious. I haven’t seen anyone mention it though it would seem likely. It seems that the numbers being reported are all over the place and now being suspected of inflation. Thus, I’m not asking if you know of someone, even someone in your family who has it. That would skew the results of this question. And I’m not asking if you died of it. That would be ridiculous. Lastly, I’m not tagging this with the “Covid-19” topic. That seems to draw the ire of RP Admins...

I've managed to avoid it. My uncle and cousin had it a few months back and since recovered. My father was diagnosed this morning. Local reserve units at JBLM, WA have only reported 4 positives since March (that I'm aware of). I believe the numbers were high even before testing began.

No one in my family. I have been working and out and about in public ever since the shutdown started. Was back in the gym the day they re-opened. A co-worker recently tested positive and suffered from extreme fatigue with some coughing for about a week (late 50's and overweight).

I had a suspicion that I had it already and the antibody test confirmed in. I believe it went around our workplace back in January, due to the number of people who were sick back then and the lack of positives we've had since then (only 3 people have had it at work verified with positive tests).

We had about 20-30 from our installation, mostly older civilians. A few from my BDE as well...

I caught the Covid-19 virus. I was hospitalized for six weeks. I spent the first 3 days in ICU. Then I was put in a medically induced coma for two weeks and a ventilator and life support. I'm much better now. Still going through therapy.

No I haven't. The VA refused several times to test me for it so I told them if I end up on their morgue slab diagnosed with COVID-19, I'm coming back to haunt them.
