There's now like ten cars in front of the house of my neighbor who died of covid. So either his wife, who also had Covid, is home from the hospital or she died too and they're divying up the property.

I don't know anyone who's died from it, but my mom and I contracted it, I was worried because she lives with him, and he's in his seventies and is high risk do to a heart condition and respiratory problems. Miraculously he did not catch it (he got a test) and we've tested both tested negative for it now . We're still very exhausted an get occasionally get coughs an sore throats that are residual effects from it. We didn't go to the hospital, but GODDAMN did it suck. Even having a mild case. It changes hour to hour, the one thing that was constant though was the mental fog and trouble thinking. But for example I'd be laying down, resting; feeling like I felt better, so I played a video game or go read the forums and it was back, like hitting a brick wall. The coughing/sore throat, and shortness of breath were worrying, as was the heaviness in the chest, but the worst part was the extreme exhaustion. The whole time, even now, your body hurts and you are weak 24/7. Not cool and bad, wouldn't recommend. Wear a mask, social distance, and take the vaccine when it's your turn to get it. COVID-19 don't gently caress around and trifle with fools who think it's "just the flu". It'll knock you on ya rear end or into a grave.

Our kids dance teacher, and her grand mother. And we have several friends who got it and were sick for months and still deal with weird side effects like memory loss and issues with balance etc. It's a scary rear end illness.

The guy who hung out in my building's laundry room watching telenovelas all the time died from it. Aside from that, I know like 5 or 6 more people who got it and recovered, and they each said they were sick for 3 to 4 weeks. Laundry room dude was probably the oldest out of everyone though.

A friend I knew through an online game that we played together for several years died from it back in April. She worked for her state's DMV, so I assume she caught it from interacting with the public there. Was in her late 40s. I came down with symptoms and tested positive for it myself the first week of this month, but I've already recovered and retested as negative.

Like 4 family friends aged between 40 and 90 back in the UK I haven't had it and have been wearing a mask literally every day since January (in Japan they've always been pretty accessible) and reading some replies in this thread make me seriously question the capacity of people who choose not to when outside near others. I feel genuinely naked without one now, every day I'm walking to the bus stop I'll see this 100 year old guy doddering along with no mask and I wonder if he just has had enough of it all at this point

I'm thinking this is more of a "you" issue. content: I have an uncle who is currently dying/dead of covid. I never knew him that well, but he's a good guy, and nobody deserves to be stuck on a ventilator.

My buddy at work died in August. He was about to retire too. He was 63 years old, black, diabetic, asthma. It killed him quick. Then another guy at work caught it a couple weeks later and died. I didn't know him that well but I knew he was an anti masker. It still sucks that he died, but people at work who weren't taking it seriously started taking it seriously. Now my mother has it, or had it. She got it in the hospital with a broken hip and leg. She was asymptomatic but now she has fluid built up in her chest and congested heart failure.

I work for a hospital doing medical record requests. There's a lot of covid deaths that I see paperwork on, but the one that got me was an elderly man who had a DNR and chose not to get put on a ventilator, knowing he wouldn't survive. His wife was allowed to come see him, and in the notes, before the documentation of the time of death, the doctor wrote that she prayed with the man and his wife as he passed. I'm the furthest thing from religious, but that was the most personal and emotional thing I've ever seen in a chart.

I tested negative. Wife tested positive. Neither of us have any symptoms. So... Either a 10000:1 chance we both are asymptomatic or a 4% chance of a false positive for my wife I don't know. Glad we're not gettin' got.

I genuinely think I already had it back in early February. I went to a video game arcade in my city and there were a TON of Chinese exchange students who go to the university in my town who had just come back from Winter holidays and the start of the new term (winter vacation is really long here). I was walking around near a ton of them and using the same arcade joysticks as them in a confined space with lovely ventilation. I remember specifically sitting down in the Mario Kart arcade game after four Chinese girls finished and got up. This was around the time they were talking about how they were running out of hospitals in China and building like 500 new ones. Almost exactly one week after that I developed a weird, shallow, very dry cough that lasted for like, a solid month. Occasionally phlegm and some weird fever moments. I was just kind of dealing with it and never really put the clues together until later. Maybe I'll get tested to see if I have the antigens. In which case, I might be a patient zero in my city and inadvertently exposed everyone to it slowly, actually saving lives and making the infection rate way slower than in other parts of the country (our area has been one of the slowest increases in covid rates in the entire USA). I'm a hero, you see.

I mean, it sounds like you didn't actually get it and all the people you came into contact with during that time period didn't mysteriously also get Covid. But on the other hand everybody knows that Chinapeople are always vectors so who's to say what the truth is really?

Thankfully, haven't caught it, and don't know of anyone that's died from it. I've been nervous because Christmas is coming, and I work for a major shipping company in a city with one of their largest hubs. I'm an IT employee, and since March I've been working from home, and have been keeping to myself mostly because hey, if you don't run into people who have it, you can't catch it right? But with Christmas coming, my employer over the past few years has been calling out as many of its management and IT employees as it can to work in the main operation. Basically I go from being a programmer to being a package handler for most December leading up to Christmas. It sucks because it's very physical work, and well, typing poo poo into a computer is not. Well, that starts next Tuesday, and the hub has been one of the bigger hotspots for the virus in the entire city. I'm nervous.
